Description
This Escher-esque short-sleeve cropped sweater is easily worn over dresses and high waisted pants. Or add length and long sleeves (instructions included) to make a lovely sweater to wear with jeans in the fall. Reminiscent of a fall sunset, the graphic boxes grow larger as the increases are worked down from the crew neck.
The traditional Norwegian “lice” (blips of color on the body) are optional but provide a bit of extra graphic design. For more information, see also Losekofte, translated lice jacket.

NOTES: The sweater is worked in the round from the neck down and has a circular yoke construction. Sleeve stitches are held to be picked up later and worked downward. All colorwork has been charted. The sweater is knit using 4 colors but only 2 colors are used in each round of knitting. Save time and worry, buy an extra main color skein, as your preferred length could vary from the pattern.
