About Løkka sweater:
The Løkka Sweater is an oversized sweater with a cable structure. The sweater is knitted in double thread, and is worked from the top down, with increases along the shoulders. After the shoulder increases, the front and back pieces are worked back and forth on the needle. Then the stitches are gathered for the body, and stitches are picked up for the sleeves.

Needles:
Circular needle 8 mm (80 cm and 40 cm)
Auxiliary pin for braiding structure

Alternative yarn suggestions:
Drops Air, Drops Melody, Sandnes Kos or Sandnes Brushed Alpakka.
Note: If you choose a different yarn, always check the knitting tension. Also, be aware that the amount of yarn may vary.

Knitting gauge:
