Earthy but elegant Benthe has several eye-catching features that make her stand out from the crowd. First of all of course the decadent cabled sleeves that seem to grow organically out of the 2x2 rib at the sleeve cap. Then there is the interesting construction that results in a modified drop shoulder shape with some simple cabling along the armholes and the back raglan lines.
With instructions for two different collars and several options for the sleeve length, Benthe has all the makings of a favorite sweater for any style preference.

 

The wool bundles include the original wool and you can find the pattern at Natasja Hornby's Ravelry page

What is in my Wool bundle?

You can go have a look in the tab called "With your wool bundle", right next to the "Description" tab :)

The Benthe Sweater is worked from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth until the underarm.
Then, stitches are picked up from the slanted edges of the back yoke to work the back and front shoulders. The shoulders are joined by casting on stitches for the front neck, and the front yoke is worked to the underarm, where front and back are joined to work the body in the round.
For the sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armhole. The sleeve caps are shaped using German short rows, after which the sleeves are worked in the round.

There are several options for neckline (crew neck or cowl) for the sleeve length and for the body shaping (optional horizontal bust darts, shaped or unshaped body). Directions are given for all different options.
