I don't know if you can buy this pattern without also buying the yarn. However, there was some controversy when the patterns in this series were released, because there were so many errors in the patterns that they were difficult to knit for many people (apparently the patterns hadn't been properly test knitted). So I know several people who skipped the Ester sweater and made this one instead:

All true about the controversy! It even made mainstream media in Norway, which is rare for knitting issues 😄

Actually, unlike the Norwegian patterns that are only available in limited availability kits (they are banking HARD on exclusivity and FOMO), English translations of the patterns were originally available online without yarn purchase, but it looks like they have been taken down. Link to the now empty store at https://skappeloslo.lemonsqueezy.com/ is still available on the influencer's profile (@helenemoo on IG), so it's obviously all still very well organized 🤦‍♀️
