Brother sweater PDF – PixenDk

About the design:

The Brormand sweater is knit from the top down. The neckline is based on the invisible cast on / provisional cast on, where you cast on two rows at the same time across two needles and scrap yarn. You can find great instruction videos for this technique on Youtube.

The arrangement of the stripes are up to the knitter, as long as the colours are used evenly (*). The sample in the picture is worked alternating between 6 and 8 rounds per colour. To reach the specified lengths some colours are repeated once more than others.*

All measurements, especially sleeve and body, are guidelines. Please take the intended recipient into account when choosing size.

The pattern will be available to you as a PDF download after payment, and you will also get a link in the order confirmation sent to your e-mail. You can ONLY open the file 5 times. Remember to SAVE the file when you have opened it.
