NORTH SWEATER
CROPPED VERSION
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The favourite North sweater now as a cropped version. Same instruction with small adjustments. Shorter
ribbed hem at body and sleeves, as well as a tighter neck.
A simple turtleneck sweater that knits up rather quickly. Choose your favourite colour and get started.
You start at the body’s bottom and knit your way up. Raglan decreases. Long ribbed hem at both body
and sleeves. The body has an A-shape, which means that the sweater is wider at the bottom and slimmer
towards the yoke/sleeves.
The sweater is knitted with 1 thread Hip Wool and 1 thread Hip Mohair. The model on the photo is 1,69
m tall and wears size S, as the fit is supposed to be slightly oversize. Colours: Hip Wool in ”Cinnamon
brown blend” and Hip Mohair in ”Chestnut”

ABBREVIATIONS AND TIPS

St(s) = stitch(es); k = knit; p = purl; stm = stitch marker; tbl = through the back loop
The sweater has an oversize fit. If you prefer a tighter fit, go down one size. Remember to knit a gauge
swatch first – if you are a loose knitter, go down one needle size.
BODY
Cast on 148 (164) 178 (192) sts on needle 7 mm with 1 thread Hip wool, 1 thread Hip mohair. Knit rib
(p1, k1 tbl), until the sweater measures 10 (11) 11 (12) cm. Change to needle 8 mm and continue knitting
in stockinette stitch. Place a stm at the round’s beginning and 1 stm after 74 (82) 89 (96) sts (marking
the sweater’s sides). The 1st round in stockinette stitch, k2tog on both sides of each stm (= 4 sts
decreased). Repeat after 15, 19 and 24 cm. Continue knitting in pattern, until the sweater measures 25
(28) 30 (31) cm. Cast off sts for armhole openings as follows: cast of the first 3 sts past the 1st stm,
continue knitting in pattern until 3 sts before 2nd stm, cast off 6 sts. Continue knitting in pattern until 3
sts before 1st stm, cast off 3 sts.
Put body on hold and continue knitting the sleeves (= in total 120 (136) 150 (164) sts on the needle).
SLEEVES
Cast on 30 (32) 34 (34) sts on needle 7 mm, place a stm at the round’s beginning. Knit rib (k1 tbl, p1),
until the sweater measures 10 (11) 12 (12) cm. Change to needle 8 mm and continue knitting in
stockinette stitch, while at the same time, increase to 36 (38) 40 (40) sts the following round. Increase
1 st on both sides of the stm (= 2 sts increased). Work the increases evenly spread (approx. every 4- 5
cm), all the way up the sleeve, until you have 48 (52) 56 (58) sts on the needle and the sleeve
measures 40 (41) 43 (44) cm from the beginning, or has the desired length. Last round – knit until 3
sts before the stm and cast off 6 sts.
Knit the 2nd sleeve the same way.
Place the sleeve sts on the same circular needle as the body, cast off sts facing each other (in total
204 (228) 250 (268) sts on the needle). At each transition from body to sleeve, place 1 stm (= 4 stm
in total). Knit 1 round in stockinette stitch over all sts before you start with the raglan decreases.
RAGLAN DECREASES
You now have to work the decreases, mostly every other round. Work as follows: knit until 2 sts before
the 1st stm. K2tog, slip 1 st knitwise, k1 and pass the slipped st over. Repeat these decreases at every stm
(= 8 sts decreased every other round). With this sweater, you work the raglan decreases every round
the first 4 rounds (all sizes except XS; here you work the raglan decreases every other round as
explained above).
Work the decreases 17 (19) 21 (23) times. You have now 68 (76) 82 (84) sts on the needle.
Continue knitting the back higher before you start with the turtleneck (this step is not necessary, but
gives the sweater an extra neat finish).
Higher back – work as follows:

Knit in stockinette stitch until centre back, place a stm. Knit 8 sts past this stm (for a neater result with
the short rows: when turning work for purling the following row, slip the 1st st over onto the other needle
without knitting it, tighten properly), turn and purl 16 sts, turn and knit 24 sts. Continue like this, always
8 sts past the last turn, until you have knitted over 64 sts (8 turns), turn work and knit 1 round
stockinette stitch over all sts until you reach centre back again.
TURTLENECK
The turtleneck is worked on needle 8 mm. You might want to go down 1 needle size to 7 mm, if you want
a tighter neck. The turtleneck is rather higher (see pictures), adjust the length, if desired. Knit rib (k1 tbl,
p1) for approx. 16 (17) 18 (19) cm.
Cast off in rib (creates a rather loose/flexible cast off).
Weave in all ends. Wash/ steam iron (not the ribbed hem), if necessary.
