This is rated as an intermediate knitting project, but a beginners stranded knitting project and is a good introduction to knitting adult sized Selbuvotter.

For knitters with questions about stranded/ fair-isle knitting and how to carry your secondary yarn so that the inside of your garments are clear of any loops please see this excellent tutorial.
