MATERIALS
100 (100, 100, 100) g Isager Bouclé = Color A
100 (150, 150, 150) g Isager Tvinni = Color B
100 (100, 100, 100) g Isager Tvinni = Color C
Suggested Color Combinations:
A = 98 / B = 30 / C = 4s
A = 98 / B = 4s / C = 2s
A = 98 / B = 23s / C = 13s
A = 100 / B =33s / C = 1s
A = 100 / B = 8s / C = 7s
A = 65 / B = 7s / C = 58
A = 65 / B = 1s / C = 13s
Alternatively, the blocks shown with Colors B and C can also be knitted in stripes. Knit 2 – 8 rows per color and arrange the col­ors randomly, as the “aprons” worn by women in the Himalayan region. Color A is knitted continuously as one of the Bouclé colors of 65, 98 or 100 and the Tvinni colors can be knitted using leftover stash yarn. The colorful stripes can be used in both Tvinni and Spinni, or also in Highland and Alpaca 2.

Color suggestion: A = Bouclé, Color 100 are with Tvinni Colors 1s, 23s, 29s, 39s, 52s, 61s using 20g of each color, + 2 x 50 gr Tvinni in 2 colors for bands. Make the color change of the vertical stripes in the same places where B and C are changed. Continue the color changes all the way up, or work stripes in different row height through the whole body.

MEASUREMENTS
Chest circumference: 92 (114, 136, 160) cm or 36.2 (45, 53.5, 63) inches
Total Length: approximately 50 cm or 20 inches + bottom band
The exact amount of yarn depends on the desired width and length of the sweater. Therefore, the following information is only an approximation.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The pullover is worked from the bottom up in a Hexagon pattern and with blocks of intarsia knitting in the background. The bands are worked in ribbing pattern. The shoulders are shaped using short row shaping and are joined together after the Front and Back pieces are blocked. Work a bottom band in 4×4 ribbing (K4, P4) as was done in the Swatch.

RECOMMENDED NEEDLE SIZE
3.5 mm (US 4) for pattern and 3 mm (US 2) for all bands
