Good to know

The sweater is knitted from top to bottom in a round, starting from the collar and knitting for the yoke with an increase. After the yoke has been knitted, the sweater is divided up for the sleeves and the body. The printwork is knitted throughout the body, with 2 or 3 strands of colors at the same time, it’s optional to change over to a slightly bigger needle if needed.

Yarn quantity required is based on an average , and is therefore an approximate number. The sweater can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as Organic merino aran.

When working with hand dyed yarn, it’s recommended to check through the yarns and see if there are some hanks that might look slightly different from one another. If you have a hank that is slightly different from the rest of the hanks in color 1, use it while knitting the printwork to create additional effect in the printwork. This is just an option and a playful tip, to highlight the uniqueness of working with hand dyed yarns.
