Information
The Herø Sweater is a light and soft raglan sweater with a high neck, an I-cord edge and a small embroidered detail on the sleeve. It is knitted from the bottom up using DROPS Kid-Silk, DROPS Flora and one strand of Merino Extra Fine. The pattern includes 9 sizes from XS to 5XL. The sweater shown in the photographs is knitted in size M.
The simple stocking stitch highlights the light and airy fabric, while the folded high neck with an I-cord edge provides an elegant finish. The three embroidered flowers on the sleeve add a distinctive finishing touch. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan shaping, I-cord edging and simple embroidery.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Swedish and German.
