Yarn kit for the Naturverngenseren (Nature Conservation Sweater) in dark olive green and lime green by Linka Neumann. The pattern is available digitally and in the book Strikk for naturen (Knit for Nature). See more yarn kits HERE

PS: This sweater is knitted slightly differently in terms of color placement. It has two fewer colors than the original, but this is described under yarn quantity.

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

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

Most people knit more tightly when doing colorwork than when knitting 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 multiple 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 color 1 and 6 or 2 and 5 if you want a version with fewer colors.
