The Sweater from Lerwick

The sweater from Lerwick is a true timeless classic that looks so stylish!

Note: the pattern is not included.

The pattern diagrams were originally drawn by Gunnel Melcher, and you will find the pattern in Swedish in the book "Fiskartröjor och andra tröjklassiker" by Uuve Snidare. The book can be found at libraries or on Bokbörsen. Unfortunately, it is not currently in print. You will just have to visit the library.

We have chosen to make a kit in sizes S-L with Shetland yarns from Jamieson & Smith.

This is a 70s model, so the sizes are not small. We have the same yarn colors as those in the pictures.

Color and yarn quantity in a yarn kit:

81 black-gray     13 skeins

1A natural white       6 skeins

2   natural beige   3 skeins

54 gray               3 skeins

Knitting needles: 3.5mm

This is a favorite sweater!

Hope you have many wonderful knitting hours
