About pattern
The English word for Hjemover is homewards, and the sweater on the picture contains some of the colours in the winter landscape somewhere in the northern part of Norway, where Aud B was brought up.

The sweater is knitted top down and with raglan. It is seamless and knitted in round. When the raglan is finished the sleeves and body will be worked separately.
