The Valot cardigan is knitted flat and in pieces and features a collar. The finished cardigan is brushed to make a fluffier. Despite its chunkiness, Novita Ateljee is a wonderfully light yarn which makes it a suitable choice for summer knits as well. The yarn is only available at the Novita.com online shop. The pattern is part of Rolf Ekroth’s 2025 summer collection Lavatanssi, which was showcased at the Copenhagen Fashion Week.
