From the highly anticipated book, Knitted Kalevala published by Laine, we've put together yarn sets for the beautiful Suolaulu Sweater knit with Rauma Finullgarn. Jenna Kostet identifies this sweater as "the most beloved of all of my Kalevala-themed designs" and we can see why! With colorwork hem and cuffs, this sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. It has three-quarter-length sleeves, a cropped hem and dropped shoulders.
This Kit Includes:
*If you need this pattern, please choose the "WITH BOOK" option as this pattern is not currently available on Ravelry.
As always, it is important to manage gauge to ensure you will have enough yarn. If you are worried you can purchase an extra skein of the main color. This pattern suggests the option to lengthen sleeves or hem, for which you would need extra yarn, if you wish.
