Kvällning (Nightfall) is a practical, soft, and loose-fitting cardigan just right for throwing on when it’s a chilly day. It is knitted from the top down in stockinette with garter-stitch bands. Cast on stitches and knit the back neck edging. Then, pick up and knit stitches along the edge and continue in stockinette with increases along the diagonal shoulder lines and chain stitches bordering each garter band. After the body is finished, stitches for the sleeves are picked up around each armhole. The sleeves are knitted down to the cuffs, with shaping on the top of each sleeve as an extension of the shoulder line.
