Announcing the Navia knitalong!

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on November 8, 2018August 26, 2020

As I mentioned in my previous post on Navia, we’re hosting a casual knitalong using the Troyggja Við Mynstur (Sweater with Round Pattern) from Navia Book 25! The knit along will officially begin next Friday, November 16th, and last for two months, ending on Courtney’s birthday, January 14th.

I have translated the pattern into English and expanded the size range to fit busts 35-56” circumference. Originally designed as a man’s garment, the sweater easily fits all genders/body types, and the bottom up yoke shaping lends itself well to modifications.

Details
The Troyggja Við Mynstur (Sweater with Round Pattern) will be a FREE pattern, available here on Monday, November 12th.

We’ll mainly be posting progress shots on Instagram (@KelbourneWoolens) and sharing any relevant information and tutorials here along the way as well.

The pattern calls for Navia Tradition, a traditional 100% Faroese wool. Tradition is a rustic, heard wearing, and warm wool perfect for use as a light outerwear layer.
