Sirid Faroese Sweater, knitting pattern

Knitting pattern for Sirid Faroese Sweater

The Sirid design has a beautiful yoke with small geometric shapes in many colors. This version is made in striking, deep, Nordic colors that mirror the sea and the mountains.

The design is inspired by traditional, knitted Faroese sailor sweaters. The colors are gender neutral and will suit both women and men. The sweater is knitted in our deliciously soft and exquisite Önling No 2, 100% merino wool, that will keep you warm at all times.

Procedure
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Start with a provisional, crochet cast-on to allow adjusting the size of the neckline before working the neck hem. The shoulders and back of the neck are shaped using short rows. The yoke is worked with increases and then divided into sleeves and body, which are finished separately.
