Information
The Chunky Bjarkan Sweater is a warm and contemporary raglan sweater inspired by Norse heritage. Its distinctive Nordic colourwork and chunky fabric create a timeless sweater that is equally at home in everyday life, at the cabin or on outdoor adventures. It is also available in a standard version.
This knitting kit includes yarn for your chosen size together with the digital knitting pattern. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan shaping using one strand of Rauma Finull and one strand of DROPS Kid-Silk held together. This combination creates a soft, warm and lightweight sweater with beautiful texture. The pattern is best suited to knitters with some experience of stranded knitting and raglan shaping.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish and German.
