Description of the work:
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. It features raglan shaping and a slightly high neck. This sweater can be knitted using Viking Wool Yarn, as specified in the pattern, or with Lettlopi yarn from Istex (Icelandic wool). If you use Lettlopi, you will need to go down half a needle size, using size 3.5 mm for the ribbing and size 4.5 mm for the rest of the work. This will give you approximately the same gauge as with Viking Wool yarn, though the sweater may turn out slightly larger.
