Stormskär by Johanna Vaurio-Teräväinen

This pattern is not yet available in English! The Stormskär sweater is the first sweater I have designed from the wool of the Åland sheep. The guide was ordered by Myrskyluoto villa , which tells about Åland sheep like this: "Thanks to their abundant, often double-layered wool, the Åland sheep have survived the harsh and variable weather of the archipelago. The wool warms and insulates moisture. The wool of the island sheep has a delightfully wide range of shades. The yarns spun from it are suitable for those of you who appreciate the special qualities of our rare native breed and want to cherish genuine cultural heritage. " The patterns on the sweater were formed from wonderfully soft colors that stand out against the dark gray base. Knitted from Myrskyluoto's double-stranded yarn, the shirt is warm and pleasantly soft to wear. Other yarn of the same strength will also work as yarn. Like many Icelandic knits, the sleeves are knitted first, then the body, and finally these are joined by knitting the yoke. The height of the collar can be easily adjusted according to your taste. You will surely succeed with this model! Wishing you enjoyable knitting moments! MATERIALS, SIZES AND ACCESSORIES Myrskyluoto's wool, double-stranded yarn, approx. 195 m / 100 g according to the table below and 80 cm circular needles and double pointed needles 4.5 mm or by handwriting to obtain the given density . More detailed materials can be found in the attached pictures. Density : 20 s / 10 cm Note . Be careful with the knitting density, because the difference of even a couple of stitches affects not only the width of the work but also e.g. to the height of the arch!
