He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay. Well, actually he’s not, but we’ve named the sweater Tukkimies, which means Lumberjack. This easy-looking sweater is worked in half fishermans rib in Novita Wool Cotton. The ribbing makes the sweater extremely flexible and voluminous, but thanks to the cotton not too hot to wear.

This pattern is published in the Winter 2019 issue of Novita Magazine. It is available for magazine subscribers only, until the next issue is released in January 2020, after which it will be available for free in English, Swedish and Finnish.
