Paper copy of the Rosepath Sweater pattern by Outi Kater, Rosepath sweater design was inspired by and named after a folk weaving technique that has been used in Nordic countries since the 16th century, especially for weaving rugs and wall hangings. The sweater has been designed with 4 – 6.5 cm positive ease, and the generous armhole depth makes it slightly oversized in style.
