Rova Light Grey Sweater Knitting Kit

Rova brings two cultures together: the yoke is inspired by Sami woven bands, and the name is Finnish — some say Santa Claus comes from Rovaniemi, and with its Christmas look the sweater had to be Rova. (A Finnish “o” sounds like a Norwegian “å”, so it’s really the Råva sweater.) Knitted in single-ply Plötulopi: light ash heather with the yoke in jasper red and winter blue. Designed by the Norwegian designer Christina Gjertsen of Sisu Knitwear.

Included
