Vestvaagoey Sweater (English)

€5.00

Vestvågøy Sweater is a yoke sweater worked from top to bottom entirely in the round. This sweater has a high neck, i-cord finish, garter ridges and dropped stitches, giving it a unique structure. Since the sweater is worked from top to bottom, it can be tried on along the way, allowing you to customize sleeve and body length.

Inspiration behind the sweater comes from the sea around Lofoten, Norway, where pearl inspiration can be found everywhere. The garter ridges represent the beautiful texture of sea urchin shells, pebbles and cloudberries, while the dropped stitches represent nets and moss.

The sweater has a recommended positive ease of approx. 10-20 cm.
