RAINY SWEATER is a sweater that is easy and quick to knit, and it is knitted without a single purl stitch. It is knitted with 1 thread Kos + 1 thread Brushed Alpakka from Sandnes Garn, but it can be replaced with e.g. Air and Melody from DROPS Design for a more affordable alternative.
RAINY SWEATER is perfect for beginners as it only contains simple techniques and has links to help videos along the way. The jumper is knitted from top to bottom, round and round on circular needle. First the neck is knitted, then the yoke with raglan increases. The sleeves are then finished separately. At the very end, edges are crocheted at the bottom of the sleeves, bodice and in the neck opening with double thread Sandnes Kos. A separate video has been made in the recipe that shows the entire crochet process.

YARN Sandnes Kos: 4 (4) 4 (5) 5 skeins Sandnes Brushed Alpaca: 4 (5) 5 (6) 6 skeins In addition, you need 1 skein of Kos in a contrasting color to make the crocheted seam at the edges.
