Sirid Faroese Sweater
The Sirid design has a beautiful yoke with small geometric shapes of many colors. This version is made in striking, deep, Nordic colors that mirror the sea and the mountains. The design is inspired by traditional, knitted Faroese sailor sweaters. The colors are gender neutral and will suit both women and men. The sweater is knitted in our deliciously soft and sustainable Önling yarn No. 2 that will keep you warm at all times.

Procedure
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down, starting with a provisional, crochet cast-on to allow adjusting the size of the neckline before working the neck hem. The shoulders and back of the neck are formed with short rows to make the back of the neck higher. The yoke is worked with increases and then divided into sleeves and body, which are finished separately.
