Virvendus sweater knitting pattern (English)
This sweater is a twist on the classic striped sweater. The stripes on Virvendus are created using Kihnu vits or Kihnu braids. Using a high contrast color allows the small stripes to provide a flicker of color across the sweater.
This yoke sweater is knit seamless from the top down with alternating contrast colour knit braid stripes on the body and sleeves.
