Information
The Hattholmen Raglan Sweater is a stranded colourwork sweater knitted in Viking Alpaca Storm. It can be worked either bottom up or top down, with instructions for both methods included in the pattern. The pattern is available in 7 sizes from XS to 3XL. The sweater shown in the photos is knitted in size 2XL.
Hattholmen is a small lighthouse off the Norwegian coast, and the colourwork is inspired by the small lighthouse beacons and the beautiful play of colours 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.
