Norwegian Sweater
This warm raglan sweater is inspired by traditional patterns found on old knitting in the valley of Setesdal, Norway.
Knitted bottom up, it breaks the tradition a little by having a seamless raglan shaping for the shoulders.

The stranded pattern is knitted in light sand color on a
black main color.

Setesdal has one of the richest and best kept arts and crafts traditions in Norway.
