Since each color of Nutiden is unique and may differ in yardage I always recommend you to have a bit extra yarn to not run out.

Circular needles: 5.5 mm needles for the ribbing, 6 mm needles for the one colored sections and 6.5 mm needles for the stranded work. Adjust your needles if you need to in order to meet the correct gauge.

About the Pattern
Bydalen is a beautiful mountain in the heart of Jämtland. Bydalen is a wonderful place all year round, and a mountain where I’ve spent a lot of time snowboarding but also picking berries in the fall. This sweater is inspired by the winter in Bydalen, on a perfect day when the air is cold and crisp, the sky is blue, the snow is new and glittering.

Bydalen Sweater is knitted from the top down, with a round yoke with a stranded pattern. The neck is a little bit wide, and with short rows to make the fit nice. Collar, end of sleeves and end of body are made in a twisted rib.
