Kjegasen is a unisex pattern, knitted in an easy stranded pattern. The pattern is top-down and the yoke increases are explained by charts while the rest of the pattern is written.

Its knitted in sport-weight, but the fabric will be a little thicker since you are working with two colors. The pattern is perfect for knitters that want to try stranded knitting for the first time.

Subtle, but still interesting and fun to knit. Sometimes “simple” can be the most beautiful thing. It has positive ease, so there`s a little room between body and sweater.
