The pattern for the Wilderness Sweater, in its thick version, was first published in 2017. Since then, it has been knitted in countless variations worldwide. Now I have created a version in thinner yarn that is more suitable for all seasons. The sweater is knitted in fantastic Norwegian wool from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. You can also knit it in Lettlopi if you want a more water-resistant sweater. However, the Norwegian yarns Luna and Vidde are better for all-around use, as they are considerably softer than Lettlopi. The Wilderness Sweater mid-season is made for all seasons, but with a special focus on the mid-seasons of spring and autumn. I hope you enjoy your sweater! Happy knitting
