Nordic Emotions is a pullover with dolman sleeves, featuring a textured mosaic stitch on the body, the sleeves and around the neck.
It’s the perfect outfit for a walk in the nature, but also for a cozy weekend on the sofa, reading your favorite book.
And it has pockets!



Nordic Emotions is worked seamlessly from the top down in one piece. The pullover is started from the top of the back sleeve, shaped with short rows and worked down to the end of the sleeve itself, then the stitches are placed on hold. Stitches are picked up from the CO for the back to work first the long mosaic band, then the front of the sleeves, worked in the same way as the back side(but adding the hole for the neck).
When the sleeves are ready, the sleeve stitches that are on the sides of the work are placed on hold and the front and the back are joined together to work the body in the round, ending with a beautiful textured mosaic stitch border.
Optionally, it’s possible to add two big, handy pockets just before the border.
After completing the body, stitches are picked up along the sleeve selvedges to make two high wrists in the same mosaic stitch as the bottom border.
