Wammergenser

DIGITAL PATTERN ONLY - Norwegian and English pattern.

The Wammer Sweater is a simple raglan sweater for children, featuring classic cables and a timeless look. Inspired by traditional everyday wear, this sweater is particularly durable in Norwegian wool—perfect for active children and unpredictable weather. It has a spacious, modern fit that looks equally stunning in timeless neutrals as it does in bold trend colors.

The sweater is worked top-down without the use of short rows, starting with a classic ribbed neckline that is folded double. The yoke is shaped with raglan increases while working the decorative cable pattern. The body and sleeves are finished with a neat ribbed edge, followed by a few rows of double knitting and an elegant Italian bind-off.
