I have designed the Moa Sweater together with adventurer, Moa Hundseid. We wanted to make something inspired by Norwegian sweaters and all the hardworking people who used them. The checkered pattern has been knitted in countless variations over the years, and this is our version. The jumper is knitted round and round before sewing and cutting up to the armholes and neck. The shoulders are knitted together before the sleeves are sewn in by hand. Then stitches are picked up along the neckline for the neck.

Size: XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) XXXL

Gauge: 10 cm stranded knitting on needle 4 mm =22 stitches.
(The needle size is only a guideline. If you get a gauge with more than the provided stitches you should switch to a bigger needle size. If you get a gauge with less than the provided stitches you should switch to a smaller needle size. It is smart to always make a swatch to check the gauge before starting on the garment, as everyone knits differently, and if you choose an alternative yarn it might behave differently).
