Hove Sweater - Mette Sandgaard Kühl - Digital Pattern

The Hove Sweater is a classic sweater with details that make it elegant. The sweater is knitted from the top. First, the back piece is knitted with European shoulder construction in retrills. The retrills go again at the beginning of the front piece and at the beginning of the sleeves. The neck is slightly boat-shaped and is knitted in stockinette for an elegant look. Sleeves and body are finished with ribbing in 2 knit, 2 purl.

The sweater can be knitted in two different knitting strengths. The measurements are given for both firmnesses.
