Boyland Knitworks - Nordiska

Caitlin Hunter

Nordiska is a modern take on a classic Scandinavian style. I was inspired by traditional motifs from Norwegian Marius sweaters, reimagined in a loose, drapey fabric and updated silhouette. The sweater fits with an oversized, cropped fit, high, modest V neck and deep armholes. You can easily knit this design longer in both the body and sleeves if desired, but it will affect the yardage needed.
