Clean fjords, vibrant forests, rich animal and plant life, and a livable climate. For over a hundred years, the Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature has fought to preserve nature, so that it can also bring joy to future generations. This would not have been possible without the Society's members and local and county branches across the country. Click here to become a member too. Let nature be passed down!

Size XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) Women/Men

Gauge
10 cm stockinette stitch with one color on needle 4 (4.5) 5 (4) 4.5 (5) mm = 19 (18) 17 (19) 18 (19) stitches
10 cm stranded colorwork on needle 4.5 (5) 5.5 (4.5) 5 (5.5) mm = 19 (18) 17 (19) 18 (19) stitches

Most knitters knit tighter when doing stranded colorwork than when knitting plain stockinette stitch with one color. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting stranded colorwork. Gauge varies from person to person, so always knit a swatch before you begin.

Yarn
Luna, Vidde and/or Varde from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, Lettlopi from Istex, Fivel from Rauma or Viking wool from Vikinggarn.

Yarn Quantity
This sweater is perfect for using up leftover yarn. You can also use the same color in multiple places to create a version with fewer colors. For example, you can use the same color for the base color and pattern color 3. You can also use the same color for pattern color 1 and 6 or 2 and 5 if you want a version with fewer colors.
