English and Norwegian knitting pattern

Canvas Sweater is a slightly oversized raglan sweater with a minimalistic and modern look. The sweater is worked top down. You start by casting on stitches for the neckline and continue towards the yoke and body. Neckline, cuffs and hem are worked in stockinette stitch, framed by purl stitches. They are then folded double and are attached to the sweater’s wrong side.
