Thor is wearing his new winter set composed of a stranded long cap and the matching yoked cardigan.

Saint-Olaf is a set of traditional knittings from the Shetland islands. Fishermen’ s wives used to knit these long caps for their husbands and sons, and they still wear yoked cardigan…
Of course, my little ones won’t leave on a boat for months, but the XO
pattern is supposed to remind them how much they are loved…
Despite traditions, this hat is also perfect for girls…

Saint-Olaf cardigan is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down and cut.

The pattern comes with a “how to steek” lesson for beginners…
