Information
The Laukr Sweater is knitted using DROPS Kid-Silk, DROPS Alpaca and one strand of DROPS Merino Extra Fine. It is worked from the bottom up with a seamless raglan construction. The pattern includes six sizes, and the sweater shown in the photos is size M.
The distinctive stranded colourwork is created using a single strand of Merino for the motif over a soft background of Kid-Silk and Alpaca. This combination creates a lightweight, warm and airy sweater with a timeless Scandinavian look. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan construction and stranded colourwork.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.
