Information
The Shoal of Fish Sweater 1 is a beautifully soft sweater featuring a striking school of fish motif inspired by the sea. It is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with a broad raglan using DROPS Alpaca and DROPS Kid Silk held together. The fish motif across the body consists of 38 rounds of colourwork, while the remainder of the sweater is straightforward and enjoyable to knit. The sample shown in the photographs is size M.
The broad raglan creates a contemporary silhouette, while the combination of alpaca and kid mohair produces a lightweight, warm and wonderfully soft fabric with a delicate halo. The seamless construction gives the sweater an elegant fit with very little finishing required.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish and German.
