About pattern
This pattern is available in Norwegian and English, and contains written text and chart.
The jacket is worked bottom up. The sleeves are worked in the round. You can choose to knit the first part of the body in the round or knit it back and forth. From the armpits the jacket is worked flat for both choices. The sleeves and body are assembled with raglan.
Some parts of the jacket are knitted with double thread; the squares, the collar and the bands.
The story about Granite
Have you ever jumped from stone to stone somewhere along the coast? If you do, take the time to enjoy all the lovely nuances of grey. The colour and texture of this jacket are inspired by the beautiful stones along the coast in the northern part of Norway.
