Information
The Torsviga Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater made in Dale Kidsilk Erle. Its featherlight fabric, wide three quarter length sleeves and timeless stripes create a modern yet elegant look for everyday wear and special occasions.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. The luxurious blend of mohair, silk and wool creates an exceptionally soft and lightweight garment with beautiful drape. Decorative eyelet raglan shaping and the relaxed neckline complete the feminine design. At only around 92 grams in size M, it is a sweater you will hardly notice you are wearing.
The sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colour combinations in addition to those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like different colours or have any questions about delivery times.

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.
