This is a bottom up stranded cardigan. Could be for a man or women. I had inspiration from the Riddarateppid in Reykjavik Iceland. The borders and reindeer are adapted from that work. It does have just a few rows of 3 colors in a pattern. The white is the new Rauma Tumi: half alpaca and half wool from Norway. It has adaptions for a slightly longer sweater. It uses very little of the extra colors. I made it in the new petrol blue heather. 4123 These new heathers are dyed onto grey sheep wool and makes for a lovely depth of color. Steek up front and yoke joined to bottom at underarms with kitchener stitch. Pattern will not be available at my web page for a few weeks.
