The Torsviga Sweater is a light and airy raglan sweater knitted in Dale Kidsilk Erle. It is worked from the top down with wide three quarter length sleeves and simple timeless stripes. The sample shown is knitted in size M and weighs only 92 grams. The pattern is available in nine sizes.
The soft mohair blend creates an almost weightless garment while still providing warmth. Decorative eyelet raglan increases highlight the construction, and the relaxed neckline together with the wide sleeves give the sweater an elegant and effortless look. It is equally suitable worn over a dress or paired with jeans or shorts.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.

FROM TOP TO DOWN
Here you start with the neck, knit raglan and divide the work into sleeves and body when the raglan is finished. Then you knit the body first, then the sleeves.
