Vintage pattern from Norway’s craft cooperative.

Editor’s Note: This relationship of size and finished dimensions doesn’t seem to make much sense even given the snugger fit of men’s sweaters at the time this pattern was first issued. There may be an error in either the size or the stated gauge. The pattern calls for 240 stitches for the main portion of the body. Modern knitters most often knit this yarn at 22-23 stitches in 10 cm.

Colors: 400 grams main color, 200 grams secondary color and 150 grams accent color.

Pattern is in Norwegian.
