Information
The Trysfjorden Sweater is a classic and elegant raglan sweater featuring cables, knitted from the top down using two strands of Dale Kidsilk Erle. The sweater becomes slightly wider in wear than the measurements suggest, as the cable pattern opens up. The pattern is available in nine sizes, and the sweater shown in the photos is size XS.
The all over cable pattern creates a refined and timeless look, while the soft blend of mohair, silk and wool produces a lightweight, warm garment with beautiful drape. The high neckline adds extra warmth on cooler days. The sweater pairs equally well with jeans, skirts and dresses and can be worn throughout much of the year. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of cables and raglan construction.
The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.
