TUEN SWEATER

Marianne writes about the design: 

When I travel, I like to bring a simple knitting project with me — something that doesn’t require too much thought. I knitted the first Tuen Sweater on a trip to Japan, using local undyed wool from Uldens Hus (House of Wool), combined with silver-grey Silk Mohair.

The textured stitch pattern is easy and enjoyable to knit. As far as I know, it doesn’t have a name, though it may resemble the Zalmiak pattern. But what should I call the sweater?

I settled on Tuen, the name of a small town nearby, inspired both by the local surroundings and by my current preference for locally sourced yarns.

CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is knitted in the round on circular needles from the bottom up to the armholes. Then, the Front and Back are worked separately back and forth in rows. The shoulder stitches are joined together. Then, the stitches for the Sleeves are picked up along the armholes. The Sleeves are knitted in pattern to the desired length and then are finished with a ribbed cuff band. Finally, the collar is knitted.

The sweater in the photo is knitted in one strand of Isager Merilin colour 31s held together with one strand of Isager Silk Mohair colour 33. 
Isager Merilin can be exchanged with Isager Uld 2, Isager Tvinni, Isager Highland, Isager Kamgarn 1 or Isager Tweed.
