About the pattern
"Furuskog" (eng: Pine Forest)
The sweater is worked top down, with ribbed borders in the neck and cuffs. Short rows and raglan increases are knitted simultaneously in the neck. After working the short rows, the yoke is knitted in the round. The body is worked in stockinette and ends up in a ribbed border with a split in each side. Sleeves are worked onto the sweater and will also end with ribbed borders.
