Vestavind is knitted in soft and warm lamb's wool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. The sweater is knitted from the top down with simple raglan increases. The body and sleeves can be knitted to your desired length. The neckline can be knitted as a low or high collar. The sweater is unisex and fits both women and men. If you want a more masculine expression, you can make the ribbing on the body and sleeves a little tighter by going down one needle size or by decreasing 10 stitches evenly across the last round before the rib.
