Scallop sweater (pattern)

The Scallop Sweater is a beautiful, soft oversized sweater knitted in Viking Alpaca Bris. It can be worked either from the bottom up or from the top down using raglan construction. The pattern includes 6 sizes from XXS to XL. The sweater shown in the photographs is size S.

The stylised scallop motif creates a beautiful band around the body, giving the sweater a timeless maritime character. Viking Alpaca Bris makes the garment light, soft and comfortable to wear, while DROPS Air can also be used as an alternative yarn. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan construction, stranded colourwork and stocking stitch.

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

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.
