From the popular, 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:
9-19x 50g balls of Finullgarn (in your choice of color; number of balls is dependent on the size you select)
Large Woolly Thistle Tote Bag
Stitch Marker
Knitted Kalevala book (optional*)
*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.
Size 1 - Up to 40" Size 2 - Up to 50.5" Size 3 - Up to 60.5" Size 4 - Up to 65" Size 5 - Up to 75.7"
Selecting the correct amount of ease is a very personal, please choose a size based on your own preferences, a range between 2 to 4” of ease is suggested for this garment.
NEEDLES US 4 / 3.5 mm circular needles (32–40″ / 80–100 cm) for Stockinette Stitch and colourwork, US 2.5 / 3 mm circular needles (32–40″ / 80–100 cm) and DPNs (if not using the Magic Loop Method) for ribbing.
GAUGE 26 sts x 30 rnds = 4 x 4″ / 10 x 10 cm with US 4 / 3.5 mm needles in Stockinette Stitch, after blocking.
This is such a lovely book in the Laine tradition of excellence. Not only are the designs spectacular, having the inspiration from the epic poem included makes it so special.
(My husband's mother was Finn and his father Norwegian. Having this lovely sweater to knit with Rauma brings his heritage full circle!)
