Moa sweater (digital pattern)

I designed the Moa Sweater together with adventurer Moa Hundseid. We wanted to create something inspired by traditional Norwegian knitting and all the hardworking people who used these garments. The checkered pattern has been knitted in countless variations over the years, and this is our version. The sweater is knitted in the round before cutting and sewing for armholes and the neck. The shoulders are knitted together before the sleeves are sewn in by hand. Then, stitches are picked up along the neckline before the neck is finally knitted.

Happy knitting!
Regards, Moa and Linka
