The Dream Sweater is knitted bottom-up, either in one strand of Sol from Hillesvåg together with one strand of Brushed Alpaca Silk from Drops, or in one strand of Varde Pelsull from Hillesvåg. The pattern comes with two fits: women’s and unisex. The unisex version has longer and tighter ribbing, as well as a longer body and sleeves. The length can easily be adjusted as desired.
