A snake in the grass
might be an exaggeration.
But whoever wrote this pattern didn´t do a very good job, but thanks to Hanne, I finally figured it out. Thank you - you´re the best!
I used 2 skeins of Drops alpaca (with only a tiny bit left), and knitted up the smallest size, which really is big enough, just made the body and arms a bit longer.
This is my very first top down raglan but not the last - this is a great way of knitting a sweater!
Seriously - whats not to like about it?
You start with the fun stuff (the pattern).
There´s no seaming involved.
You can knit the arms and body longer if you want to.
Pure genius in my mind.
Oh, the pattern is from Hendes Verden 18/2007.
Edit: when looking at other finished sweaters, I´m starting to think I still did something wrong at the neck???
I still love the sweater as it is though, and maybe I´ll get it right next time around.

Den er blevet smuk!!! Og jeg kan godt forstå betagelsen af top-down raglan... det er lige før jeg tror jeg kaster mig ud i en selv... måske ;-)

Den er skøn, Mette. Dejlig farve og modellen er enkelt.
...Altså modellen er helt enkelt at se på - måske ikke at strikke!
Mette hvor er den skøn. Lækker farve du har valgt.
tak skal i have - jeg er også ret vild med den farve :-)
Din trøje er vel nok blevet fin! Jeg skal selv til at strikke trøjen og vil høre om du kan fortælle mig, hvor i mønstret der er fejl?
Charlotte, her er Hanne´s forklaring:
""fejlen" er, at de har skrevet forklaringen på en oti og derefter skrevet 1 oti i mønsterrapport 2. Du skal altså bare strikke 1 OTI."
Det er i mønsterrapport 2
Tak :O)
This is a beautiful sweater. Whatever your difficulties - this was worth it!
