Pattern included in Norwegian. If you want a different yarn, please feel free to email us.

The sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up in patterned stockinette stitch, with wide edges and a high folded ribbed collar. The sweater's pattern is knitted according to charts.

This pattern is unisex and shows how the sweater can be knitted with either a feminine or masculine expression. Note that the lengths and yarn amounts vary between the two expressions, but the actual size is the same for both and is chosen based on your chest circumference and preferred length – regardless of gender. See the size guide to find your size.

Washing instructions

It is always a good idea to wash the garment after you have finished knitting it. This helps to soften the wool, even out the stitch pattern, and remove any excess dye or dirt that may have gotten on the garment during knitting. Additionally, the garments look extra nice if you lightly steam them before use.
We recommend hand washing your wool garments. Soak the garment with a mild wool detergent. Gently press the water out of the garment by rolling it in a towel and then dry the garment flat on a dry towel. Feel free to shape the garment when laying it out to dry to get the correct measurements on the finished garment. Yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk can be washed on gentle wool programs (wool cradle) in most modern washing machines. All machines wash differently, and we cannot guarantee that the garment will not felt in your machine. We recommend knitting a swatch and washing it in the machine before washing a whole garment. Wool tolerates spinning, but tumbling can cause felting. Always wash one garment at a time if washing in a machine, and dry the garment flat on a towel. Yarn that is not superwash treated should not be washed on any program other than wool programs.
