Huldra Sweater
Huldra is a cosy raglan sweater with stranded knitting. The sweater has floats all over, which adds warmth and fullness to it. Anna Sjösvärd first made a pair of mittens with similar dots and got obsessed with the stitch pattern!
Huldra is a creature in Norse mythology who rules over the forest and the animals — Anna had an image of her in this sweater sitting on an elk and riding through the forest.
The jumper comes in two versions, normal length and cropped.
