Yr sweater (pattern)

The Yr Sweater is a chunky raglan sweater knitted from the bottom up in Lieve Mondial, featuring a three colour pattern with the Yr rune as its central motif. The pattern is available in sizes XS to XXL, and the sweater shown in the pictures is size S. It becomes slightly roomier with wear and offers endless opportunities to experiment with colour combinations.

The airy kid mohair creates a lightweight, soft and warm garment with a contemporary feel. The striking rune motif gives the sweater a distinctive look while maintaining a timeless Scandinavian character. The Yr Sweater pairs just as well with jeans as it does with outdoor trousers or layered over a dress on cooler days, making it a versatile favourite throughout much of the year. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan shaping and stranded colourwork.

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