Information
The Madr Summer Sweater is knitted using one strand of DROPS Kid Silk together with DROPS Flora and one strand of DROPS Merino Extra Fine. It is worked from the bottom up with raglan shaping. This playful version features vibrant summer colours that give the classic Madr design a fresh and cheerful character. The pattern is available in 6 sizes, and the sample shown is size S. The colour combination was created by the model and influencer Kristina Bergsvik.
The bold colour palette highlights the simple Norse inspired motif while creating a light hearted and modern sweater. The combination of Kid Silk, Flora and Merino Extra Fine produces a lightweight, warm and exceptionally soft garment. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan construction and colourwork.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.
