Yarn kit for the Dala Sweater by Elenor Mortensen.

The Dala Sweater is knit with a playfully traditional horse pattern in the yoke. The Dala horses are a traditional Christmas motif in Scandinavia. Dala horses were once carved during long winter nights and given as Christmas toys. 

You knit your Dala Sweater seamlessly from top to bottom in the round. The sweater is knit with Pinta by Pascuali, fine merino and silk that feels magical and drapes beautifully.
