Baltic Sea Sweater

95 kr

The Baltic Sea Sweater has an all-over textured pattern reminiscent of the ripples of the sea in the wind. It’s a roomy sweater with plenty of space, you should feel comfortable and warm all day.
You knit it from the bottom up in a straight model with a dropped shoulder. The neck edge is double-folded and close to the neck for extra warmth.
The yarn is a blend of Gotland wool and Falkland merino, which is ideal for long walks along the sea.
Use the measurements in the knitting instructions, but feel free to adapt the sweater to your own measurements. I’ll help you choose your size and make the adjustments you need to get a sweater you’ll love. Good luck with your knitting! /Annelie and Nordic Knitting Society
