Hrabby
Hrabby is worked top-down in the round using stranded colorwork. Note that most knitters tend to work stranded colorwork tighter than plain stockinette. Since the whole sweater is worked in stranded colorwork pattern, it’s important to keep an even tension. Also be mindful that the floats (strands behind the work) are not too tight — practice makes perfect!
