Setesdals

Norwegian Sweater

This warm raglan sweater is inspired by traditional patterns found on old knitting in the valley of Setesdal, Norway. Knitted bottom up, it breaks the tradition a little by having a seamless raglan shaping for the shoulders.

The pattern is knitted in light beige color on a dark grey-black background.

Choose any wool yarn that fits the specified gauge.

Setesdal is a 200 km long valley in South Norway that stretches a few miles from the coast and all the way up to West-Telemark and Hardangervidda. Setesdal has one of the richest and best kept arts and crafts traditions in Norway.
