Knitting kit for the Kathmandu Polar Sweater by Linka Neumann. You will receive the PDF instructions as a download after purchase; they are included in this set.

The Kathmandu Sweater is covered in flowers and features a super-modern Norwegian pattern. At the same time, traditional elements can be found throughout. The pattern masterfully adapts to the decreases at the yoke.

The thick Norwegian sweater is ideal for outdoor activities. It is super durable and will accompany you into nature.

You knit your Kathmandu Sweater seamlessly from the bottom up in the round. The sleeves are knitted separately in the round and then placed on the needle together with the body at the yoke. This completes the yoke at the end. You knit your Norwegian sweater from Fritidsgarn by Sandnes Garn. We have put together enchanting color combinations for you.

The yarn packages contain enough wool, so you can optionally choose to add a turtleneck or a hood. Both are described in detail in the instructions.

The flowers on the Kathmandu Sweater are wonderfully beautiful and will enchant you too.
