Nest V-neck is the Pattern of the Month in November at www.nordicknittingsociety.com and is available in English and Swedish!

Nest V-neck is the sweater you’ll want to throw on again and again – a clean, V-neck style with three-quarter sleeves, a slightly cropped body, and a relaxed fit that makes it perfect to wear over a shirt. It is knitted top down, which not only makes it fun to knit but also easy to adjust as you go. The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch to highlight the yarn’s natural variations, and the neckline, cuffs, and hem are finished with twisted ribbing. The sleeve construction with a dropped shoulder is carefully tailored for each size to ensure the best possible fit and contributes to a laid-back silhouette. The pattern comes in nine sizes and is perfect for anyone wanting to create a truly wearable garment with beautiful drape and thoughtful details. It is knitted in Sårk yarn from Gotlands Spinneri – a characterful, lustrous wool yarn that gives the sweater both warmth and life.
