My daughter purchased this booklet while on vacation in Norway and, while she wants “all” of the patterns in the booklet, this one was her favorite. I had a heck of a time getting an English translation for this pattern (the pattern book is entirely Norwegian). I finally got Rauma to send me an English pdf, but the charting definitions are in Norwegian and I’m crossing my fingers that I can get it all to work.

I’m not holding my breath for this to appear in my finished projects anytime soon…but I’ve got the yarn, so here goes…

1-11-24 - Began ribbing
1-14-24 - Began pattern. Lots of markers (5 charts per row). Switched to wood needles--much to my surprise, this seems to help.
2-10-24 - Divided for sleeves.
2-15-24 - Finished back.
2-19-24 - Finished left front.
2-26-24 - Finished right front and joined fronts to back. Relieved I could repair misplaced cable. See photos.
3-8-24 - Finished first sleeve.
3-22-24 - Finished second sleeve.
3-27-24 - Finished band.

4-9-2024 - Ready to set in sleeves and block. Tested swatches on hand wash machine cycle and that’s what I’ll use for blocking.

Finished dimensions:
Shoulder to hem - 23”
Chest width - 26”
Sleeve length - 18”
Cuff - 5-1/4”
