Skógafjall

This knitting pattern guides you through the creation of a beautifully crafted sweater, with both sleeves and the body worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. Once completed, the sleeves and body are joined to work the yoke and neckline in a round fashion, creating an elegant and cohesive design. It’s important to note that some knitters may find it necessary to use a different needle size to achieve the proper gauge when incorporating stranded colorwork into their projects.

For those who find their stranded colorwork knitting tighter than plain Stockinette stitch, we recommend using a larger needle size (Size C). This adjustment can help ensure a comfortable fit and a well-structured final piece. To achieve the best results with your knitting, we highly recommend swatching in both stitch patterns—this will help you determine if a larger needle size is needed for your particular knitting style and tension.
