The Vestavind sweater is knitted in 100% norwegian lamwool, which makes it super warm and soft. The sweater is knitted top-down with simple raglan increases. The body and sleeves can be adjusted to your desired length. The neckline can be knitted as either a low or high collar. Always bind off with a stretchy bind-off technique.
