ODDA is a picturesque little town in Norway we visited last summer, where my favourite Netflix show, Ragnarök, was filmed and where the idea of this sweater came to my mind.

It is a seamless sweater with a diagonal shoulder construction where the mock shoulder seams are “hidden” on the back of your sweater.

The range of ease across all the sizes is 10-14.5 cm /4.5-5.75”. The picture shows size 2 with 14.5 cm/5.75” of positive ease.

PATTERN NOTES:
• The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down.
• You begin with the upper back part worked flat, then you pick up the stitches along the diagonal shoulders and work the shoulders and the upper front part.
• At the underarms, you join your work in the round and continue working the body in the round.
• After that, you pick up stitches along the armholes and work the sleeves.
• Finally, you pick up stitches along the neckline and work the neckband.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/tubular bind off, knit/purl, cables, increase/decrease)
• working flat
• working in the round
• working from a chart (written instructions to charts have been provided)
