Bjarkan sweater

Bjarkan Sweater is a timeless Nordic colourwork raglan inspired by Norse culture. The distinctive stranded pattern across the yoke, sleeves and body creates a classic Scandinavian look that never goes out of style.

This knitting kit includes yarn for your chosen size together with the knitting pattern. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan shaping using Rauma Finull and DROPS Kid Silk held together. The combination of Norwegian wool, mohair and silk creates a soft, lightweight and durable sweater that is equally suitable for everyday wear and outdoor adventures. Bjarkan is also available in a chunky version.

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