Happy Days - Knitting pattern

Happy Days is a warm, colorful and cheerful sweater knitted in Fritidsgarn from Sandnes Garn. Here you can play around with beautiful colors and choose your own color combination if desired. The sweater is easy to knit, is knitted on thick needles and has minimal assembly. The body is knitted in the round up to the decrease for the sleeves. The front and back are knitted back and forth. The sleeves are knitted from the top down. We think it's good not to have to sew the sleeves in afterwards, and we like that the length of the sleeves can be easily adjusted to the desired length.   

For your information:

The nice white hat that Kaja is wearing is the Stockholm hat from PetiteKnit.
