Knitting kit Norma Sweater

Introducing the Norma Sweater Knitting Kit, a part of the esteemed Isager Archives Collection and designed by Louise Rasmussen from My Favourite Things.

This classic raglan sweater features a chic high mock neck, combining timeless elegance with a beautiful drape and a comfortable, loose fit. The neckline is shaped with short rows after the ribbing, adding a refined touch. The simple yet distinctive multicolored pattern draws inspiration from the knitting traditions of the 60s and 70s, making it a standout piece. Designed to be knit from top to bottom, this sweater allows you to try it on as you go, ensuring the perfect fit every time.

The kit includes all the yarn, enough to knit up to size L (please read the pattern sizing info below) and digital pattern which will come direct from Ravelry.com into your mailbox.
