Notes

I knitted this sweater with yarn that was gifted to me as a good-bye present from my co-workers when I left my student job at a company called Agrotech. Because of my travels in Iceland they had bought Alafoss lopi, my favorite of the Icelandic yarns. It was fun to knit in a colour sceme that was already decided for me. I love the red beet and rasberry colours of these yarns, I think it’s both fresh-looking and autumnal. It’s the 4th Hela I’ve knitted and I’ll probably knit it again some other time- it’s a great pattern!

Done!

another time, place round marker on the middle af shoulder, that makes short rows in the back easier to add evenly.
When pattern complete: 56 stitches.

Made 3 short rows in the back, knitted neckband: 3-4 rows (1 k, 1p.)
Grafted the underarm stitches using this video in danish

In the chart, I switched around row 22 and 19, in order to get more of a drop-like pattern.
