Description

Yarn package for the Celeste Sweater from PetiteKnit.

This beautiful Norwegian sweater is knitted top down with a round yoke. It has a small pattern and is therefore a great introduction to Norwegian knitting!

Note that when knitting with a pattern (Fair Isle) you often have to use a 0.5 - 1 mm thicker needle than when knitting in one color. Therefore, make both a single-colored and multi-colored swatch before you actually start knitting.

This new classic from Petiteknit will stay relevant forever and will stay with you for a long time! And the best thing is: Peer Gynt becomes softer and softer as you wear it and really hugs you, but it is still completely robust and easy to care for! The perfect mix!

We have also put together the matching colors of the Celeste Sweater Junior for you. Knit the Celeste Sweater for the whole family!
