This pattern has been tested in all sizes. Every summer I spend some time at a tiny island in southern Norway, enjoying long walks along the seaside. The Sea and the Rocks has great beauty and an almost magnetic appeal. In my sweater “Sea and Rocks” I combine the golden shade of granite rocks with the gorgeous handdyed wool from Lousia Harding, featuring all the Sea-shades of blue.**

ConstructionThis sweater is worked top-down and in the round, featuring a patterned circular yoke, short row shaping for the front, raglan-shaping, long sleeves bordered with broad patterning, moss-stitch sections in the sides of the body, waist-shaping and a border of pattern and a folded hem at the lower edge of the body. Completely seamless, and with the great opportunity to try out the sweater as you work, for best length of sleeves and body.
SizesI give you 6 different sizes to choose from, with finished bust measurements 35/36/39/41/43.5/45”. The pattern gives you full instructions from top to bottom, as well as colorcharts for patterning. You will need 8/8/9/9/10/11 balls of MC (Sandnes Alpaca), 1 ball of MC 2 (Sandnes Alpaca), 1/1/2/2/2/2 skeins of Louisa Hardings “Grace Wool” to work the sweater. The skill-level is for an average knitter to advanced knitter. Please note that the patterning of the yoke for sizes 3 and 4 will not be symmetrical as the pattern-repeat is worked to an uneven number.

I would like to thank all my wonderful testers! Take a look at their sweaters; they are all just gorgeous:)
