Vestavind Sweater

The yarn in this pattern is made from 100% natural fibers

The yarn is produced in Norway

Vestavind is knitted in soft and warm lamb's wool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. The sweater is knitted top-down with simple raglan increases. The body and sleeves can be knitted to your desired length. The neck can be knitted as a low or high neck. The sweater is unisex and suitable for both women and men. If you prefer a more masculine look, you can make the ribbing on the body and sleeves a bit tighter by going down one needle size or decreasing 10 stitches evenly distributed on the last round before the ribbing.
