Knitting kit for Majse Sweater by Pastelkollektivet
The design idea behind the Majse Sweater was to make a sweater with a slightly different shape that had subtle, elegant and flattering details. The sleeves are voluminous at the top, and decreases are made towards the cuff to give a tighter fit around the wrist. The body of the sweater is oversized and lightly cropped, which gives a lot of room to move.
You don't need to master many difficult techniques for this sweater, but on the other hand, you have to make a lot of increases in different ways - both for the sleeves and the body, so we recommend you find either paper and a pen or a knitting counter.
Majse sweater is worked in a lovely and soft combination of Önling No 20 (shetland wool), Önling No 12 (wool/cotton) and silk mohair.
This kit contains: Önling No 20, Önling No 12 and Önling No 10 and a digital pattern
