The Grønningen sweater is knitted with raglan shaping using two strands of DROPS Kid-Silk and Flora held together, along with one strand of Merino Extra Fine. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up and is available in 7 sizes. Grønningen is named after a lighthouse near Kristiansand in Norway, and if you use your imagination, you can see many small lighthouses in the colour combinations. Beautifully coordinated colours make this sweater a stunning piece!

Knitting the Groenningen sweater
The Groenningen sweater is knitted in the round, which means that instead of knitting back and forth in rows, you’ll be working in continuous circles to create a seamless garment. Knitting in the round is an efficient technique that eliminates the need for side seams, giving the jumper a smooth, even finish.
