Svanhild
Svanhild is knitted with two strands on thick needles. The sweater is chunky, soft and warm for cold days.
The four thick cables give neck, shoulders and sleeves a signature and a nice contrast to the simple appearance of the rest of the sweater.
The Svanhild sweater is knitted from left sleeve’s cuff to right sleeve’s cuff. Side and sleeve seams are joined together. Stitches are picked up from the bottom edge and neckline and knitted in rib.
The sweater is easy to knit as it is made in one piece. The shape is made by decreases and increases.
