KNITTING PATTERN -- Norwegian Fir - Take 2 - P160
This seamless top down sweater is an intuitive knit, suitable for the intermediate knitter. Worked in garter stitch in the round, with a simple, effective raglan pattern which travels down the sleeve. This pattern was inspired by my original Norwegian Fir cardigan, however after receiving a lot of requested for adult sizes, I designed a sweater which will fit toddlers, through to XL adults.
