Southwest Sweater (digital pattern)

The Sørvest sweater is an oversized sweater with drop shoulders, knitted bottom-up. The garment is quick to knit on 6 mm needles in Vams from Rauma garn (100% Norwegian wool). The Sørvest sweater is knitted in the round until the pattern is complete. The back and front are then knitted back and forth before the shoulders are sewn together and the hood is knitted. The hood is knitted back and forth and sewn together at the top. Stitches are picked up for the button placket. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes for the sleeves.
