Note that pattern for ‘Tårnby By Night’ is complimentary with the purchase of leather ‘Choker

Tårnby By Night’ is an elegant raglan sweater worked top down in stockinette.
It has a ‘keyhole’ opening at the back of the neck, which can be closed with a leather ‘Choker’ from Striksakken, an I-cord, or a silk ribbon. Short rows are worked, along with a ‘slit placket’ on both sides of the slit, to achieve a flattering fit. It has airy long balloon sleeves and short feminine ribbed edges, making it suitable for a festive dinner or garden party. Worn with a T-shirt underneath, it also works well for everyday wear. Pair it with the ‘Snap Beret’. Watch ‘Tårnby By Night’ demonstratedhere.
