Information
The Sol Sweater is knitted using DROPS Kid-Silk together with DROPS Flora or DROPS Alpaca, and 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 images is size M. Sol is named after one of the Norse runes.
The Sol Sweater features a decorative colourwork pattern across the body, yoke and sleeves, offering many possibilities for different colour combinations. The yarn combination creates a soft, lightweight and warm sweater with an elegant look. It is equally suited for everyday wear and more special occasions, making it an excellent choice if you enjoy timeless Nordic knitwear and creating your own colour combinations.
