This sweater was knit as a Christmas gift for my daughter on order. The inspiration was a very nice and very popular (and very expensive) sweater by the Danish brand Saks Potts… the ‘Camilla sweater ‘. I was asked to make it as oversized and long as the original!

I have enclosed pictures of the original sweater …

The yarn I chose was a really luxurious combination of 2 strands of Isager Tweed in ‘Line’ and Isager Silk Mohair in ‘57 Apple Green’. These are some of the nicest yarns that I have ever worked with! There are so many flecks of colour in the yarn, so many nuances of green. The colour is less yellowy than in the top photos, closer to pictures 6-9. The resulting fabric is soooo soft.

The sweater was based on the measurements of an old sweater( the brown one). The pattern is a combination of the Wednesday sweater (the body), the Port sweater (the sleeves as they have s small sleeve cap that I like) and Sweater no 25 (the turtleneck ). The sweater was knit on 5,5 mm needles, except for the neck (5mm needles). The body and sleeves were lengthened a lot as was the ribbing (10 cm) and the turtleneck (20 cm). I believe that I had slightly less stitches for the turtleneck (88?).

Linnea LOVES the sweater, which makes me so so happy!
