Toddler’s Norski Sweater & Cap

The “Toddler’s Norski Sweater & Cap” pattern is an introduction to a “true Norwegian experiance in knitting.” Many knitters want to try one of the traditional patterns, or one of the wonderful new ones that have been published, some commemorating the Olympic games, others simply new, with wonderful colors and designs.
The purpose of this pattern is to create a comfort level for you, the knitter, while at the same time, helping you to produce a small version of what you’d like to knit in the future. The pattern is a real departure from Cottage Creations’ seamless patterns--oh yes, this one not only has seams, but requires some machine stitching besides! The joyful part is that the knitting is done in the round and you are always looking at your design from the front side of your work!

This adventure in Norwegian knitting is a departure from Cottage Creations “seamless knitting” patterns. You will knit traditional Norwegian drop-shouldered sweater in the round, machine stitch and cut the front steek, then follow step-by-step instructions in finishing. The goal is to inspire and encourage a knitter to knit an authentic Norwegian sweater for themselves!
