Information
The Crab Sweater is a timeless coastal sweater with a round yoke and decorative crab motifs, knitted in Viking Alpaca Storm. The soft blend of alpaca and merino wool creates a warm, lightweight and comfortable garment.
This knitting kit includes yarn for your chosen size in Viking Alpaca Storm together with the digital knitting pattern. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with a round yoke. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of stranded colourwork and round yoke construction.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.
The sweater in the picture is size XL (and a bit big for the crab fisherman here…)
