Knitting Pattern: Jättiruutu Sweater (by Suvi Lyytikäinen)
The chunky knit featuring large checks is worked from the top down. The slightly batwing-style sleeves give the sweater a modern silhouette.
The pattern for the Jättiruutu sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Vuokko knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Vuokko’s stunning, timeless prints.
