Summer in Oslo is inspired by the particular mood that arrives when the capital empties out in summer. The air gets warmer, the pace slows and the days grow longer. Cafes and parks fill with people, and the city finds a calm that only exists for a few weeks a year.

Oceans is CosyMonday's collection inspired by the sea, summer light and easy movement. The designs combine airy qualities with feminine silhouettes and details that give a feeling of freedom and long days by the water.

Summer in Oslo – The Sweater is knitted from the bottom up. Body and sleeves are knitted separately before they are joined with classic raglan decreases. The wide neckband means the sweater can be worn as a classic sweater or elegantly off the shoulder, whichever look you want.

The pattern is written with clear explanations and a good work flow. Along the way you learn several decorative techniques that give the design a luxurious look, while the pattern itself stays easy to follow and motivating.

• A flexible cast on
• Raglan decreases
• Eyelet pattern (two variations)
• Flower pattern
• Fence stitch
• Twisted knit stitch
• Knitting puff sleeves
• Securing and knitting in ends
• A neat cast off

Påfugl in Paris gives the design an airy mohair halo with low weight and high comfort. The sweater feels soft against the skin and is perfect both on cool summer evenings and as a light layer the rest of the year.

Try knitting the sweater in muted pastels or pale natural tones for a Scandinavian look, or pick strong contrast colours if you want something more bohemian. The design changes character with the colours without any change to the construction.
