I have yarn kits available for this pattern on my website.

This is going to be my Rhinebeck + Shetland Wool Week sweater and I hope you will join me for a KAL beginning on July 31st.

The Vaddel pattern comes with two separate downloads, one for the cardigan version and one for the sweater.

Both versions are worked top down with compound raglan shaping in the yoke. The sweater is worked in the round (after neck shaping) and the cardigan back and forth (for the body). The sleeves on both versions are worked in the round.

Vaddel uses 3 contrast colors for the simple slip stitch pattern but more or less can be used (see tester versions in the projects). This will of course affect yardage used.

Yardage for the MC is slightly more for the cardigan and therefore the yardages are listed separately below.

I have made an overview video which can be watched here:
