KNITTING PATTERN -- Norwegian Fir (Set) - P186
After many emails and requests from knitters I am thrilled that I have succumbed to your requests and worked on designing a little more to finalise my ‘Norwegian Fir Set’ which I am sure will become as popular as the matching Cardigan (Norwegian Fir Cardigan P109). The Romper and Nappy Cover are knitted in two pieces, as I know there are many, many knitters who prefer working on straight needles. Minimal seaming required. The hat is worked in the round.
SKILL LEVEL - Intermediate
Note: the pictured garments were knitted in Bellissimo 8ply - Colours (Beige 202), (Cream 201) and (Dark Navy 206)
However any 8ply DK yarn would work well, especially if the yarn has a tight twist, and you are able to achieve the same gauge/tension as per the pattern.
