€6.00

The Baden Sweater (which matches the mini version) is a chunky, oversized sweater with long sleeves and a deep raglan depth, inspired by woven medieval belts and traditional Nordic motifs. The sweater is worked with 2 strands held together and uses three different colors - it is a great way for beginners to be introduced to colorwork and can also be made unisex! The design uses several different techniques including broken rib, German Short Rows, raglan increasing, double knitting, woven stitch, Italian bind off and stranded colorwork. The recommended positive ease is 15-25 cm.
