The Kosekofte pullover is a warm, woolly and wintery jumper that lends its inspiration from Scandinavian ski jumper patterns. This is the simplified pullover version of the 2019 cardigan pattern Kosekofte. It is worked bottom-up, but with options to work the sleeves top-down or bottom-up as you see fit.

I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support. Happy knitting!
