Å-genser (oppskrift)

Å Sweater is a colourful sweater with bold contrasts and a modern look. It is designed for knitters who enjoy playing with colour and want a garment that stands out. The design works just as well for everyday wear as it does at the cabin, on a ski trip, or for après-ski.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan shaping using Du Store Alpakka STERK and DROPS Kid-Silk. The colourwork pattern is straightforward to knit, and the pattern is best suited to knitters with some experience in stranded colourwork.

Using the yarn selector, you can easily explore your own colour combinations and create a unique version of the sweater. The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish, and German.
