Vige sweater (pattern)

The Vige Sweater is a lightweight raglan sweater knitted from the top down in Rauma Plum with short, wide sleeves. The sweater shown is size M and weighs only 94 grams. The pattern is available in nine sizes. Check alternative yarn below.

The soft mohair yarn creates an airy garment with a contemporary look. The wide sleeves and open neckline give the sweater an elegant and relaxed fit, while the raglan construction ensures a flattering shape. The Vige Sweater pairs just as well with jeans as it does with a skirt or dress, making it a versatile garment you'll enjoy wearing throughout much of the year. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan increases and stocking stitch.

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.
