Aurora Borealis sweater, knitting kit

Light and robust sweater knitted in double coated yarn from Old Norse and Spæl sheep wool from Lofoten. The sweater is light and breathes well.

The sweater has a slightly narrower shaping. It is knitted from the bottom up, in the round. Parts of the pattern are knitted with 3 or 4 colors. Consider increasing the needle size here as it can easily become a little tight. The sweater can be knitted with a short or high neck.
