About the Pattern: The Hanstholm Sweater is a classic men's-style jumper with a timeless shape and comfortable fit. Worked from the top down with raglan increases through the yoke, this design allows you to try it on as you go and adjust the length if needed. Short rows are worked after the ribbed neckline to shape the neck for a better fit, giving extra depth at the back without adding bulk at the front. The body and sleeves are then worked in the round and finished with neat ribbed edges.
