Glitre sweater (pattern)

The Glitre Sweater is a lightweight, soft and oversized summer sweater with short sleeves, knitted using 2 strands of DROPS Kid-Silk and 1 strand of Dale Bling. It is worked from the bottom up and features decorative cable details along the raglan shaping. The pattern is available in 9 sizes from XXS to 4XL. The sample shown in the photos is size S.

The soft mohair combined with the subtle sparkle of Dale Bling creates a light and elegant garment. The seamless construction and short sleeves make the Glitre Sweater perfect for cool summer evenings or as a lightweight sweater throughout the year. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan shaping and simple cables.

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