Information
The Holmen Sweater is a lightweight raglan sweater with three quarter sleeves and decorative cables along the raglan lines. It is knitted from the bottom up using two strands of DROPS Kid-Silk held together. The pattern includes 9 sizes from XXS to 4XL. The sweater shown in the photographs is knitted in size S.
The soft transitions between shades of blue and grey create a calm and elegant design, while the raglan cables add a refined detail. DROPS Kid-Silk, a blend of super kid mohair and silk, creates a lightweight, airy and luxurious sweater. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan shaping and simple cable knitting.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.
