Nautic Sweater (English)
Nautic Sweater
Nautic Sweater is a striped raglan sweater with a twist. The small colorwork detail in the wide stripe gives the sweater its unique character. The name comes from the maritime look of the blue version. If you’ve never tried knitting stranded colorwork before, this is a perfect place to start – the chart only has a few rounds with stranded knitting. The sweater can be worked in two different yarn combinations: Önling No 3 (organic heavy merino) for the ice blue / navy / natural white version or Önling No 1 (merino/angora) for the beige / bark brown / yellow version.
Nautic Sweater is the perfect garment for cooler seasons or for enjoying the outdoors all year round. It’s a sweater you’ll love to have in your wardrobe.
