Discover 6 Knitting Patterns with Duo by Sandnes Garn


Duo is a very comfortable yarn all year round. 
Wool makes the yarn lighter and more elastic and insulates better than pure cotton. 


Cotton is not an itchy fiber. The blend of merino wool and cotton makes it a lightweight and soft yarn that insulates well. 


An excellent alternative for people who find pure wool irritating.

1. Montpellier Top by Ane Fiskum Sunde

Montpellier Top is a summer top, worked from top to bottom. The back is knitted first, then the stitches are picked up to create the shape of the shoulders and neckline. 


The stitches on each side are knitted in ribbing. Then, the front and back stitches are gathered on a needle and the body is knitted in the round in stockinette, continuing the ribbed pattern. 


The body is finished in ribbing, and finally the stitches are picked up at the neckline to create the neckband, which is knitted in ribbing 


Suggested yarn: Duo by Sandnes Garn
