Pattern: The Öfalla Sweater
75 SEK per pc
Design: Eva Gerdin Wridell
Öfalla is a former railroad town along the old, abandoned railroad line between Nora and Otterbäcken. My parents rented a state-owned cottage there during my childhood. The forests in Öfalla stretched for miles, full of chanterelles and raspberries, blueberries, and lingonberries in the summer, and long ski trails in the winter. I have fond childhood memories of that place, which is why I’ve named this sweater Öfalla.

Gauge: approx. 23 sts x 30 rows per 10 cm
Circular needles 2.5 mm, 3 mm, and 3.5 mm
The sweater is knitted from the top down on circular needles. Shortened rows are worked in the neckband and at the top of the yoke before the sweater is divided into sleeves and body, to give the sweater a harmonious neckline. At the same time, cable stitch is worked in the raglan increases and on the sides of the body.
So far, it’s only been made in size M; we’ll see if it comes in more sizes… You can adjust the size slightly by using a larger needle to create a little more width.
