About this pattern
Svala takes the classic Breton stripe and gives it texture. The stripes on the front alternate plain stocking stitch in ecru with double moss stitch in denim, so the colour and the surface change together, and a single stripe crosses each sleeve to tie it together. The back stays plain. The roll neck is a long 2×2 rib, cast off in pattern so it stays elastic, and it folds down softly or stands up against the wind. Cotton keeps it light enough to wear most of the year.
Good to know
- Construction – front, back and sleeves are knitted flat and sewn together, with 2×2 rib at the hems and cuffs. The stripes are 5 cm each: ecru in stocking stitch, denim in double moss stitch. The collar is picked up on a 5 mm circular needle and knitted in rib to 20 cm.
- You will also need – 5 mm and 6 mm needles and a 5 mm circular needle for the collar. The pattern is written for Scandi Cotton XL (200 g ≈ 240 m): 1 ball of the stripe colour and 3–5 balls of the main colour. Using another yarn? Any chunky cotton that knits to 15 sts × 19 rows over 10 cm in stocking stitch.
- In the download – an 8-page PDF with the pattern in English and Swedish, a guide to double moss stitch, the Scandi Cotton XL colour card and tension tips.
Happy Knitting!

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.
