5 for 4 – if you buy any 5 Åsa Tricosa patterns at the same time you get the least expensive one for free.

Vandretur (’ramble’) is the cosy yet stylish DK-weight sister to Cykeltur (aran weight). Like Cykeltur it’s perfect for long walks in bright woods and across moody moors, or for the market shop, balancing bags on your bike – in more clement weather.

The yarn, Jensen Yarn by Isager, is an honest Danish yarn with both loft and comfort and tweedy feel.

The split hem is hip-friendly, a split collar fans out across one shoulder. Domed turned-up cuffs are just for fun but will also keep your wrists snug and warm.

There is some (optional) shaping but the general fit is relaxed.

  • Everything (except the collar) is knitted in one go, top to bottom
  • No seaming
  • Sleeves are knitted in the round from cap to cuff
  • Optional bust dart
  • Split collar
  • Photo & video tutorials
  • Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast on
