Fagerholt sweater

The Fagerholt Sweater is an easy to knit raglan sweater featuring elegant cables on the ribbed edges and sleeves. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up in Plassard Neptune, it combines timeless Scandinavian styling with a soft and lightweight fabric. The pattern includes eight sizes.

Simple stocking stitch is enhanced by subtle cable panels that add texture and sophistication without making the project overly complicated. The seamless raglan construction creates a comfortable garment that is equally suitable for everyday wear and cooler evenings throughout the year.

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

Knitting the Fagerholt sweater

The Fagerholt sweater is knitted in the round, which means that instead of knitting back and forth in rows, you’ll be working in continuous circles to create a seamless garment. Knitting in the round is an efficient technique that eliminates the need for side seams, giving the sweater a smooth, even finish.
