Nordic Midnight Sun - Little Swan Sweater

Nordic Midnight Sun – Little Swan is a cozy children’s sweater inspired by the quiet beauty of Nordic summer nights. During midsummer in Finland, the sun barely sets. Its golden light lingers on the horizon and reflects across the calm waters of thousands of lakes. The yoke design captures this peaceful scene with little swans gliding across the water beneath the warm glow of the midnight sun. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the sweater features a round colorwork yoke, a comfortable fit, and beginner-friendly instructions. The pattern includes both detailed step-by-step instructions and a shorter abbreviated version for more experienced knitters. Part of the Nordic Nature Series, this design celebrates Nordic wildlife, changing seasons, and treasured moments spent by the water with family. A matching youth & adult version is available separately. __________________________________________________ 40% OFF ALL MY KNITTING PATTERNS Throughout October ✨ No coupon needed — the discount is applied automatically at checkout! __________________________________________________ Sizes: 1 (1 yr), 2 (2 yr), 3 (3–4 yr), 4 (5–6 yr), 5 (7–8 yr), 6 (9–10 yr), 7 (11–12 yr) Recommended positive ease: 4–6 cm / 1.5–2.5 in Finished chest circumference: 56-76 cm / 22-30 in Suggested yarn: Aran weight yarn, sample shown in Novita 7 Veljestä.
