Rowan Birk Sweater from New Nordic Unisex Collection is
a unique pullover inspired by traditional Norwegian wood-carved motifs. This sweater
features a v-neck, set-in sleeves, and an intarsia motif that wraps around the
chest, and the softened shades of Felted Weed add an aged effect. Birk is knit
flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The neckband stitches are
picked up around the neck edge and worked in the round. The intarsia motif
is in chart form only.
