Sørvest is an oversized vest with drop-down shoulders that is knitted from the bottom up. The garment is quick to knit Pinne 6 mm in Vams from Rauma Ullvarefabrikk (100% Norwegian wool). The vest is knitted round and round until the pattern is finished. The back and front are then knitted back and forth before you sew the shoulders together and knit the hood. The hood is knitted back and forth and knitted together at the top. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes and along the hood to the edge and button post. South-west should have a range of movement of between 10-15 cm. Measure around your chest and add 10-15 cm to find your size.
