Lagom – Swedish – refers to something that is just the right amount. In Sweden, it also represents the idea of living a balanced life.

The Lagom Pullover is meant to embody the idea of balance, with its vertical and horizontal stripes. It is a top-down round-yoke pullover worked with single-row mosaic crochet as well as stripes. The pattern is worked in five different colours, but it can be worked in as many as you like.
