Welcome back and Happy New Year!
In today’s episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes as we work on our Polar Bear Sweater—a design we created for Rowan. This iconic sweater blends Norwegian knitting traditions with a modern twist, perfect for cozy winter days. We’ll share how we’ve modified the original flat-knit pattern into a seamless, in-the-round version, making it perfect for those who prefer avoiding purling during colorwork.
From steeking armholes to carrying long floats and ensuring balanced designs, we’re diving deep into the techniques and details that make this sweater special. Whether you love Norwegian heritage, Arne & Carlos’ unique style, or just want to refine your knitting skills, this tutorial is for you!
