Information
The Eo Sweater is an elegant and exceptionally soft raglan sweater featuring a distinctive colourwork design inspired by the Eo rune from the old Norse alphabet. It is knitted using DROPS Kid Silk together with DROPS Flora or DROPS Alpaca and one strand of DROPS Merino Extra Fine. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with raglan shaping. The pattern includes 6 sizes, and the sample shown is size XS.
The design uses several harmonious colour combinations that flow seamlessly from the body and sleeves into the yoke. The blend of mohair, alpaca and merino creates a lightweight, warm and beautifully soft sweater with a timeless Scandinavian appearance. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of stranded colourwork and raglan shaping.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish and German.
