Vestavind Sweater

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

The yarn is produced in Norway

Vestavind is knitted in soft and warm lambswool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. The sweater is knitted from the top down with simple raglan increases. The body and sleeves can be knitted to the length you prefer. The neck can be knitted as a low or high collar. The sweater is unisex and suitable for both women and men. If you want a more masculine look, you can make the cuffs on the body and sleeves slightly tighter by going down a needle size or decreasing 10 sts evenly spaced on the last round before the ribbing.
