Strågenser, green (pattern)

The Straw Sweater, green version, is knitted in DROPS Kid-Silk, DROPS Flora and one strand of DROPS Merino Extra Fine. It is worked from the bottom up with raglan shaping and decorative cable details along the raglan decreases. The straw motif on the body is worked over 28 rounds, while the rest of the sweater is mainly worked in stocking stitch. The pattern is available in 6 sizes from XS to XXL, and the model shown in the images is wearing size M.

Inspired by straw swaying in the wind, the Straw Sweater combines a clean silhouette with a striking decorative border. The blend of DROPS Flora, DROPS Kid-Silk and DROPS Merino Extra Fine creates a soft, lightweight and warm sweater with beautiful depth of colour and crisp pattern definition. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of cables, raglan construction and colourwork.

The pattern is available in Norwegian, Danish, German, Swedish and English.
