About this pattern
The stripes are what make Serenity look considered rather than plain. You change colour at set measurements on the way up — bands that get shorter as the body narrows — so the pattern does the placement for you and you never have to count rows. Everything is double moss stitch on 8 mm needles, which at 11 stitches to 10 cm means the whole jumper is a few evenings' work. There are no set-in sleeves: the sleeve stitches are cast on at each side of the body, so it is two pieces and two long seams.
Good to know
- Construction – knitted in two pieces, front and back, in double moss stitch throughout, with sleeve stitches cast on at each side. Read the pattern through before you start so you do not miss an increase.

Designed by Anette Eriksson
I believe making something with your hands changes the way you feel. In a world that constantly asks us to go faster, slow craft gives us permission to pause, create and enjoy the process. Through timeless Scandinavian design, beautiful fibres and thoughtful patterns, I hope to help others discover the calm and joy that making can bring.
