Pattern available in English. 

The Segla Sweater is a top-down raglan sweater, predominantly knit in stockinette stitch, with cabled borders as ribbing. It's perfect for motivated beginners looking to try slightly more advanced techniques like German short rows. The cable details add just the right amount of challenge (with an accompanying video tutorial). I designed this sweater to wear during our Easter trip to Senja, Norway, last spring, and named it after the famous Segla peak.

Note: cables are only provided in chart form.

👉 Note: when making your swatch, I recommend adding the cable from chart A or B at the top rather than binding off your stitches. This will help you determine if you need to use a different needle size for the cabled borders.
