Pohjola means the “northlands” in Finnish. It is the mythical northern land in the Finnish national epic Kalevala. The Pohjola pullover by Sari Nordlund is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The circular yoke is knitted with stranded colorwork that was inspired by the auroras. The back is made longer than the front by adding short-rows below the colorwork. The short-rows are optional but improve the fit of the sweater. The body and the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch and the option of adding colourwork to the cuffs is provided.

Two lengths are given for the body: cropped and regular. The kits listed here are for the regular length so provide enough yarn for both options 😊.
