Overview

HATTARA is a Finnish word that refers to the fluffy clouds that were the inspiration for this pattern. The sweater is knitted top down using a round yoke construction. The sweater starts with the scalloped collar knitted flat. Then, the work is joined in the round to make the rest of the ribbed collar. Once the yoke is completed, the sleeves are put on hold and the back and front pieces are worked in the round. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round - the colour change and bobble rounds are on the same level as the ones on the body. Le Gros Silk & Mohair is used throughout the whole pattern.
