Ideal for both beginners and seasoned knitters, this design allows for comfort and creativity in your knitting journey.
The Yarn: For this pattern, I used Fårö Tunn Gotlandsull, a luxurious and soft Gotland wool with a weight of 100 g/300 m. If you're interested in purchasing this yarn, it's available here. While you can absolutely substitute with other yarns, please keep in mind that Gotland wool tends to "swell" after washing and blocking. This means you'll want to select a heavier yarn to ensure the same beautiful fit and drape.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is vital for your project. The gauge for this sweater design is 16 stitches x 28 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm in stockinette stitch, using 4.5 mm circular knitting needles. This will help ensure your sweater fits perfectly once completed.
Notions: To make your knitting process smoother, I recommend having several pairs of circular needles on hand. This way, you can easily try on your work as you progress. For the neck opening ribbing and sleeves, use either double pointed needles or short circular needles (40 cm). Don’t forget to have plenty of stitch markers available to keep your place in the pattern!
