Okay this one i'm proud of. No Danish "Jantelov". Confetti sweater came to see the world as my husband begged me for months to make him a sweater. Actually I said no, because you know; bigger human, bigger project. But when I got this simplistic pattern idea I cound't resist anyways. I gave it to him as a Christmas present 2020.
Confetti sweater is a sweater for men with a classic straight cut. It’s knitted bottom up in a simple pattern with four colours. The borders are made in folded stockinette sewn discretely on the wrong side of work. The sweater is knitted seamlessly.
