Report AbuseBetula sweater is a warm and cozy nordic sweater with round colorwork yoke (lopapeysa).
This sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.
There are two versions for the body – fitted and straight. If you want the sweater to fit more tightly, use the instructions for the fitted version; if you need a looser sweater – for the straight one.
I used the magic loop method for knitting 2 sleeves at a time, but you can knit them one by one as well. Use magic loop, a set of DPNs, or any other desired method for knitting small circles.
The back and neck shaping is made using the short rows with yarn overs technique.
All techniques used are explained in the pattern.
Please share any finished Betula sweaters with me on Instagram with the tag #betula_sweater. I’d love to see what you create 🙂
Enjoy your knitting!
