Eidsbukt sweater (pattern)

The Eidsbukt Sweater is a soft and timeless raglan sweater featuring an elegant Scandinavian colourwork design. It can be knitted both bottom up and top down, allowing you to choose your preferred construction. The pattern is available in 7 sizes, and the sample shown in the photos is size M.

The distinctive colourwork is worked across the body, sleeves and yoke, creating a timeless Scandinavian look. The seamless raglan construction provides an excellent fit, and the pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of stranded colourwork and raglan shaping.

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 whole 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.
