The Kjevik sweater is worked with raglan from the bottom up in five colours. The patterned yoke plays with the contrast between the blue-green shades of the sea and the copper and orange of the sunset, inspired by the coastline at Kjevik outside Kristiansand in Norway. The sweater shown in the photos is size M, and the pattern is available in 7 sizes.
