The Ida Sweater was created before Witre Design existed, and was the first pattern I made. How fun to publish it, I thought to myself, but how?! Then I met Camilla Dingsøyr, the designer behind Lokal Oslo, and everything just fell into place. Now the time has come for the pattern to be available at Witre Design, under the same name as before.
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up, with subsequent raglan decreases. It should be short and wide, and completely straight, in the model. If you want it to be turned in, you can knit the rib on a smaller needle size.
Choose a size that is 20-30 cm larger than your upper girth measurement.
