Streger is a pullover worked top-down with saddle shoulders and either short or long sleeves and worked with or without colorwork and stripes.

I have been asked kindly several times if I will design a more fitted pullover with either saddle shoulders or contiguous set-in sleeves….and colorwork, and no mohair, please! This pullover may satisfy some of those wishes
The colorwork is inspired by a Danish song for children: “Vil du, vil du” where you are supposed to draw 30 dashes at a whiteboard while getting the rhythm/beat in the song. Streger = dashes/lines.

Vil du, vil du = will you, will you……
