Hattholmen-genser 2 (oppskrift)

The Hattholmen Raglan Sweater is a stranded colourwork sweater knitted in Viking Alpaca Storm. It can be worked either top down or bottom up, with instructions for both methods included. The pattern is available in 7 sizes from XS to 3XL. The sweater shown in the photos is knitted top down in size S.

Hattholmen is a small lighthouse off the Norwegian coast, and the colourwork is inspired by the small lighthouse beacons and the play of light and shadows along the shoreline. Viking Alpaca Storm, a blend of superfine alpaca, merino wool and nylon, creates a soft, warm and durable sweater. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan shaping and stranded colourwork.

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

You can knit the sweater in 2 ways:

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 entire 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.
