Information
The Trysfjorden Sweater is a hand knitted raglan sweater made with two strands of Dale Kidsilk Erle and features cables throughout the garment. The high neckline and timeless cable pattern create an elegant and sophisticated look.
Each sweater is hand knitted to order. The blend of mohair, silk and wool creates a lightweight, warm and wonderfully soft garment with beautiful drape. The cable pattern naturally opens up with wear, giving the sweater a distinctive character. It pairs equally well with jeans, skirts and dresses and can be worn throughout much of the year.
The sweater can be ordered in a wide range of colours in addition to those shown in the shop. Please get in touch if you would like a different colour or have any questions about delivery times.

TOP-DOWN
This jumper is knitted from the top down. You begin with the neckline, work the raglan increases and divide the work into sleeves and body when the raglan is completed. Then knit the body first, followed by the sleeves.
