About Kosekofte:

The Kosekofte Pullover has been designed by Skeindeer, using my beautiful Excelana DK wool, a blend of Exmoor Mule and Bluefaced Leicester fleeces, worsted spun into a soft but surprisingly robust yarn which is perfect for colourwork. Skeindeer has used Excelana for several of her striking designs.

The Kosekofte pullover is knitted in the round from the bottom up with steeks positioned at armhole and neck openings. Sleeves can be knitted bottom up or top down depending on whether you prefer to sew your sleees into place or pick up the stitches around the armhole and work downwards.

The pullover pattern comes in a wide range of finished sizes from 98 - 175cm (39 to 69 inch) chest circumference.

Skeindeer has chosen a classic colour combination for this sweater, using Dark As Night, a deep navy, and Snowdrop, the natural cream of Excelana.

The pattern contains full written instructions as well as charted instructions and clear schematic diagrams.
