Tårnby By Night
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.
