This sweater is knitted a bit differently. Pattern colors 1 and 6 are the same, and pattern colors 2 and 5 are the same. The yarn quantities given are therefore only estimates.

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

Gauge
10 cm plain stockinette stitch needle 4 (4.5) 5 (4) 4.5 (5) mm = 19 (18) 17 (19) 18 (19) stitches
10 cm colorwork needle 4.5 (5) 5.5 (4.5) 5 (5.5) mm = 19 (18) 17 (19) 18 (19) stitches

Most knitters knit tighter with colorwork than with plain stockinette stitch. I have therefore included in the pattern that you should go up half a needle size when knitting 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 several places to create a version with fewer colors. For example, you can use the same color for the main color and pattern color 3. You can also use the same color for pattern colors 1 and 6 or 2 and 5 if you want a variant with few colors.
