‘The Vilja top is part of the NORTH collection showcasing colorwork inspired by the Nordic mythology and textural embellishments rooted in the Scandinavian knitting traditions. The Vilja top is designed for a fitted wear, however when choosing size consider how you prefer to wear it – next to skin, over a tightly fitted t-shirt or with enough ease to wear it over a shirt’.

Inspired by the traditional Tree Of Life embroidery motifs, this round yoke pullover tells a story of its own, from roots to shoots. Poetic, isn’t it? The pullover is knit top-down in the round with a delicate floral colourwork pattern running down the yoke (shoots) and corrugated ribbing accents on the hem and cuffs (roots). The pattern calls for one strand of Nutiden yarn held together with a strand of silk-mohair lace, yet any other yarn(s) with the matching gauge would work wonderfully. The colourwork pattern of the yoke is charted in three different length options depending on the size to avoid a “collar” effect in the larger sizes. You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in this podcast episode. Sizes The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished bust circumference of ca. 89 (100, 111, 122, 133) (144, 155, 165, 176) // 35 (39.25, 43.75, 48, 52.25) (56.5, 60.75, 65.25, 69.5) in incl. 15-20 cm (6-8 in) of recommended positive ease.
