This knitting pattern is in Swedish.
This one can look so beautiful with Isager Tweed together with 1 strand of Silk Mohair.
The Northland Sweater is knitted from the top down, first back and forth on the circular needle to shape the neckline, and then in the round on the circular needle. The yoke is constructed so that shoulder increases are first knitted on the right and wrong sides. Then sleeve increases are knitted, and finally a section with classic raglan increases is knitted. Lastly, the neckline ribbing is knitted from stitches that are picked up. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. The Northland Sweater requires no seaming.
Knit a swatch to find the right needle size that gives you the correct gauge. Note that the swatch should be washed and blocked before you measure the gauge, as the recommended yarn grows after washing.
