Helle Sweater (english)

English knitting pattern

Helle Sweater is an oversized basic sweater with signature rolled cuffs and a high neck. Inspired by the coastal culture in the west, with its raw nature and wide sandy beaches. Created for the Nordic weather and lifestyle.

The sweater is worked top down in stockinette stitch. The cuffs are first worked in rib, before they are finished in stockinette stitch to create the rolled cuffs. No final sewing necessary.
