I must go to Tuonela,
Bridle there the bear of Mana,
Bring him from the Death-land forests

This sweater is worked in the round from the top down as one piece, and the yoke has a charming colourwork pattern. This loose-fitting sweater is relaxed, and you can pull it on for example for a cosy walk in the woods. The fabric is lively, thanks to the tweed nupps in the yarn.
