Information
The Straw Sweater knitted in Viking Alpaca Storm. It is worked from the bottom up with raglan shaping, featuring decorative cable details along the raglan decreases. The straw motif around the body is worked over 28 rounds, while the remainder of the sweater is mainly worked in stocking stitch. The pattern is available in six 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 2 combines a clean silhouette with a distinctive decorative border around the body. Viking Alpaca Storm, with its blend of alpaca and merino wool, creates a soft, warm and durable sweater with excellent stitch definition. It is equally suited for everyday wear, countryside walks and cooler days throughout much of the year. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of cables, raglan construction and colourwork.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, German and English.
