Flétta Oatmeal Heather Long Sweater - Knitting Kit

Flétta — Braid. A long, cosy sweater by Rebekka Kristjánsdóttir knitted holding two strands of unspun Plötulopi and one strand of Einband lace yarn together on big 10 mm needles, so it knits up fast and feels wonderfully light. A single cable braid runs up the front, the raglan yoke is shaped with short rows for a comfortable neckline, and hem, cuffs and collar are worked in moss stitch — here in warm oatmeal heather.
