Jolene Sweater

90,00 NOK

This is a knitting pattern (PDF) only.

Brief overview / tips:

The sweater is knitted top-down in stockinette stitch with raglan increases. The sleeves are finished with colorwork and an i-cord bind-off. On the body, the work is divided for a slit halfway through the colorwork, after which the rest is knitted back and forth and finished with an i-cord bind-off.

Finally, the fringes are attached using a crochet hook.

You can use leftover yarn for the colorwork and combine several strands if you have thinner mohair you would like to use.

You can find a helpful video showing how to attach the fringes on my Instagram account, @martejacobsenstudio, under the highlight “Jolene Sweater”.
