Triangles (Trekanter) Sweater

Pattern has been updated 5/19/2020.

Trekanter is Norwegian for triangles. I am visually entertained by the play of the sharp angles in this design. This sweater is knit in the round seamlessly from the bottom up. It is fitted and meant to have 0-2 in/0-5cm of positive ease. This is a cropped sweater, measuring 12 in/30.5cm from underarm down to the bottom of the hem. You can choose to lengthen the body. The yardage listed below reflects the 12 in/30.5cm length. The yoke has a bold stranded colorwork angular pattern. There is also stranded colorwork on the cuff of the sleeves and the end of the body which remind me of a bracelets and a belt.
