Information
The Pertra Sweater is knitted using DROPS Kid-Silk and DROPS Alpaca held together with one strand of DROPS Merino Extra Fine. It is worked from the bottom up with raglan shaping. The pattern includes 6 sizes from XS to XXL, and the sweater shown in the photos is size M.
The colourwork offers endless possibilities for colour combinations while combining traditional Nordic motifs with a modern expression. The yarn combination creates a soft, light and warm sweater. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan shaping and stranded knitting.
