The Sommerhus Pullover (mini) is an oversized and incredibly light and soft pullover for children. It is intended to be perfect for those long Danish days at the summer house, where the crisp coastal breeze means your child needs something warmer, but not too dense or warm. The curled hems and loose tension give an extra bit of air and breathability. The two strands of (silk) mohair make the sweater feel as light as a feather.
You can choose to make the pullover in 2 different styles: (1) single color; or (2) stripes. The stripe version is explained below, and if you choose this style, you will need to follow the unique stripe ratio and the chart at the end of the pattern. Note that each stripe uses a different amount of meterage. The pullover has a recommended very generous positive ease of approx. 20 cm (the sweater is intended to be oversized).
