The Segla Sweater is a top-down, raglan sweater knit in mostly stockinette stitch with cable borders in place of ribbing. It’s perfect for adventurous beginners who want to try their hand at slightly advanced techniques like German short rows and the cable details provide just enough of a challenge (with an accompanying tutorial video). I designed this sweater to wear on our Easter trip to Senja, Norway this past spring and named it after the famous Segla peak.

Note that the cables are charted only.

Note: When you do a gauge swatch, I recommend adding the cable from Chart A or Chart B to the top instead of binding off your stitches. This will help you determine if you need a different needle size for the cable borders.
