Tua sweater (pattern)

The Tua Sweater is an easy to knit raglan sweater with a high neckline, worked from the bottom up in Plassard Neptune. Its simple construction and clean design make it an ideal project for anyone looking to knit a timeless wardrobe staple. The pattern is available in nine sizes, and the sweater shown in the pictures is size S.

The soft blend of cotton, alpaca and mohair creates a lightweight, warm and comfortable sweater with beautiful depth of colour. The simple stocking stitch allows the yarn to shine, while the high neckline and raglan shaping create a timeless silhouette. The Tua Sweater is equally suitable for everyday wear, weekends at the cabin and cool summer evenings, while also working beautifully as a warm layer under a jacket. The pattern is suitable for beginners as well as knitters with some experience.

The pattern is available in Norwegian, English, German, Danish and Swedish.

Knitting the Tua sweater

The Tua sweater is knitted in the round, which means that instead of knitting back and forth in rows, you’ll be working in continuous circles to create a seamless garment. Knitting in the round is an efficient technique that eliminates the need for side seams, giving the jumper a smooth, even finish.
