Snedronningen

Discover the artistry of the Snedronningen knitting pattern, which is expertly crafted seamlessly from the top down. This beautiful design features a strand of fingering weight merino blend held together with a strand of lace weight mohair silk, resulting in an exceptionally soft, light fabric that drapes beautifully. The pattern begins with short rows that are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck for a perfect fit, followed by the yoke, which is knitted from the top down until the sleeve separation. To finish the yoke shaping, additional short rows are incorporated right before the sleeve stitches are placed on hold. After the yoke is complete, the body of the garment is knitted in rounds down to the hem, allowing for a smooth and continuous flow. Finally, the sleeves are crafted top down to the cuffs, completing this elegant piece.
