Å-genser

Å Sweater is a colourful sweater with bold contrasts and a modern look. The design works just as well for everyday wear as it does at the cabin, on a ski trip, or for après-ski.

This knitting kit includes yarn for your chosen size and the pattern for the Å Sweater. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan shaping using Du Store Alpakka STERK and DROPS Kid-Silk. The pattern is best suited to knitters with some experience in stranded colourwork.

The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish, and German.
