This is my own design, knitted in Rowan Pure Wool DK. The "Pippi Långstrump-sweater" or "Fisherman´s Sweater from Gotland" is a very old sweater. The sweater-type is mentioned by Carl von Linné 1741 when he visited Gotland and the island of Fårö. It´s still a very popular sweater, specially for children. A lot of knitting-patterns exists and you can see them knitted in wool or in cotton. This is my version, created a few years ago when my brother wanted me to knit him one. I knit them in a lot of different colours and the main colour is always white. The version with blue and white stripes is considered to be the "original".
