Field Sweater Pattern by Helga Isager

Designed by Helga Isager. English language printed pattern.

FIELD is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke for a perfect fit. This makes a beautiful play of colour and a nice texture which is kind to your skin.

The finished blouse is turned ‘inside out’, so the wrong-side of the stockinette stitch is facing outward. The way the neckline is sewn in place makes both sides look nice, and ensures that the blouse can be worn with both the Right Side and the Wrong Side out.
