Fjord Sweater
$13.00
Deep blue like a Norwegian fjord, the Fjord Sweater is knitted in Rauma Fivel, a 100% Norwegian wool with a round, full strand that makes every stitch in the texture stand out.
The double seed stitch looks far more advanced than it is: it's made of nothing but knit and purl stitches, so it's easy to learn and fun to knit.
This knitting pattern is for an oversized raglan sweater with a mock neck, relaxed sleeves and 1x1 rib, knitted top-down with no seams, so you can try it on as you go. All sizes from XS to XXL are included in one pattern.

The sweater is worked top-down with raglan increases. You start by casting on stitches for the yoke and working back and forth, shaping the neckline with increases while also working raglan increases. The work is then joined and knit in the round with raglan increases, before the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is knit in the round in the texture pattern. The neckband is worked from stitches picked up around the neckline. Finally, the sleeves are worked from the stitches on hold.
