{"product_id":"christmas-sweater","title":"Christmas sweater","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEarlier this year, I reached out to Kreftforeningen to see if we could create something together. The fight against cancer is a cause very close to my heart. My wonderful uncle lived with cancer for a long period of time, and the illness affected both him and all of us who loved him so dearly. My uncle was an important person in my life. In May this year, we lost him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe stars on the sleeves of the sweater are inspired by the Christmas stars that are hung in hospitals and nursing homes across Norway each year as part of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKreftforeningens Christmas Campaign. They are there to remind patients and their loved ones that they are not alone, and that many people are thinking of them. To me, the stars have also become a symbol of love, loss and hope, and of all those we continue to carry with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBy purchasing this pattern, you have already made a contribution to \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKreftforeningens Christmas Campaign.

Optional short rows can be worked to shape the neckline. The yoke is shaped with increases before the work is divided for the body and sleeves, which are finished separately. The sweater has a relaxed fit, and the lengths of both the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted as you go. The pattern includes two options for the neckline, as well as optional bust shaping using short rows for those who need extra length at the front. Finally, the star motif is embroidered around the sleeve cuff as a decorative detail. The sweater can be worked as either a women’s or men’s sweater; simply follow the pattern instructions and select the specified lengths for women or men as you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDifficulty level: 4 out of 5\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable knitting in the round, following charts, working stranded colorwork, and increasing and decreasing stitches.
