Hopi Polar by Linka Neumann
The sweater is knitted in Vams, but you can also use other yarns such as Troll and Blåne from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Many have asked for yarn alternatives for everyday use, and I have therefore included that in the recipe.
You have the option of buying the pattern together with the yarn in a physical printed version, or you can download the pattern.
The recipe is in Norwegian
