If you have bought, or are currently buying, the Vesle Vinterfjell sweater, you get this pattern half price.

This is the cardigan version of the sweater pattern ‘Vesle Vinterfjell’ (which is the children’s’ version of the adult Vinterfjell sweater). It is worked seamlessly top-down in the round, with some short-rows to raise the neckline in the back. The front opening is ‘steeked’: meaning you cut open the front after the sweater body is complete. Secure steeks with a sewing machine if you substitute with superwash yarn.

I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support. Happy knitting!
