Salty Days Sweater by Veronika Lindberg

This pattern is electronic and will be sent to you directly from Ravelry.

The Salty Days Sweater got its name from the salt fields in Portugal - the different sections of textures look a bit like the intricate patterns of salt flakes. The sweater is worked top down and has a dropped shoulder with extra-long sleeves for a feminine and cozy look.

The work begins by shaping the back yoke flat while increasing for the shoulder seams, then stitches are picked up from the right and left shoulder for the front yoke. The front and back yokes are then joined together and worked in the round for the body. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and worked in the round, and lastly stitches are picked up for the double folded collar.

The sweater is worked on 5 mm (US8) needles with one strand of merino together with one strand of silk mohair, or in a DK weight yarn. The collar, hem and cuff ribs are worked in twisted rib on 3 mm (US2.25) needles.
