Information
The Byfjorden Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater with classic cables and a timeless Scandinavian look. Its airy mohair blend, elegant texture and lightweight feel make it a versatile sweater for everyday wear as well as special occasions.
Each Byfjorden Sweater is hand knitted to order using two strands of Dale Kidsilk Erle held together, creating a luxurious garment that is exceptionally soft, warm and lightweight.
The Byfjorden Sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colours in addition to those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like different colours, custom measurements or have any questions about sizing or delivery times.

Knit with two strands held together.
The Byfjorden sweater is knitted from the bottom up. It is worked in the round, which means that instead of knitting back and forth in rows, you will work in continuous circles, creating a seamless garment. This method eliminates the need for side seams and gives the sweater a smooth, even finish.
This version begins with the body, followed by the sleeves. All pieces are then joined together, and the raglan yoke is worked. The sweater is finished with the neckline.
