Our top 3 knitted sweater patterns by Sandnes Garn 

The weather is getting chilly here, and enjoying fall foliage outside while feeling warm and cosy in a chunky sweater is the best. Rainy days on the other hand inspire us to cast on stitches for comfortable office knits and loungewear. Sandnes Garn 2210 DIY knitwear collection has something for every wardrobe, basic knits and classic sweaters with beautiful details. 

The pattern magazine is sold with Sandnes Garn yarns, that come in a wide range of colors and fibers to choose from. We picked up three lilac color sweaters from the Sandnes Do It Yourself collection we love the most.

Brooklyn Weekend Genser Sweater

Winter must-have sweater is the Brooklyn Weekend turtleneck pullover. Melange effect is achieved by knitting coal grey wool yarn with fluffy light purple brushed alpaca yarn together. Loose fitting, raglan-sleeve alpaca wool sweater is knitted top down on chunky 8mm needles in no time.

Peer Gynt wool yarn can be substituted with merino wool yarns such Sandnes Garn DOUBLE SUNDAY. Börstet Alpaca’s less fluffy substitute is Alpaca blend Sandnes Garn Kos.
