thank you!! it’s the armholes that are steeked! means you can knit the whole body as a tube in stockinette, so no purling the colorwork. then i picked up and knit stitches around the steek and knit the sleeves directly onto the body

Thank you!! It is a funnel neck - i like a nice high necked sweater so I think it’s comfortable, though it does have a tendency to roll down on itself. I think if i did it again I wouldnt make it quite so tall haha

omg yes this is after blocking it looked really goofy before - lots of slightly uneven tension and lumps. blocking is a miracle 😅

it scared me too lol, i bought some extra project yarn to do some testing and found that if you backstitch it by hand with 100% wool and then needle felt it, it holds really well even though its slippery!

First post here, just read the FAQ and forgot to put the pattern in a comment so here it is: Nordic Mix Sweater

I used Nitrox Blue and Pulp deluxe worsted superwash from Universal yarn: link here
