This beautiful pattern Talviyö with a glimpse of Lapland magic has stunning Northern Lights and a snowy forest with a reindeer, which makes this sweater unique. Talviyö is worked seamlessly in a round, bottom up. The body and sleeves are joined on a single circular needle when you reach the arm hole, and the yoke is worked last. Choose your size based on the desired fit. Designed ease is 2-3”/4-7 cm at bust circumference. The finished sweater, when following the pattern, is hip length. Length can be easily adjusted by adding or removing main color rounds. Similarly, the sleeve length can be altered as needed. The finished sweater will relax with wear. Additionally, the sweater can be shaped when blocking.
