Information
The Afterski Sweater is a colourful and playful sweater with a distinctive après ski spirit. The eye-catching “Best på/at Afterski” motif makes it a standout piece both on the slopes and for everyday wear.
This knitting kit includes yarn for your chosen size and the pattern for the Afterski Sweater. The sweater can be knitted either bottom up or top down with raglan shaping, and the pattern also includes a separate neck warmer. The colourwork sections require some concentration, while the rest of the project is suitable for knitters with some experience of stranded colourwork.
The design is perfect for cabin life, ski trips, après ski, or anyone looking for a warm and colourful winter sweater. The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish and German.
The sweater shown in the photos is knitted in size M.
Alternative yarns are Viking Alpaca Bris 362 Cerise, 361 Rosa and 307 Beige which is the yarn you get in the yarn package here.

In addition, you need about 1 ball to knit the loose neck.
FROM BOTTOM UP
Here you start with the body, knit the sleeves and join all the pieces together. Then you knit the raglan with the entire piece on the same needle and finish with the neckline.
FROM TOP TO DOWN
Here you start with the neck, knit raglan and divide the work into sleeves and body when the raglan is finished. Then you knit the body first, then the sleeves.
