Gorm Sweater Junior is a classic, timeless sweater. It is worked with 2 threads top down with long sleeves. At the body, a pattern with 3 contrasting colours is worked, using the fair isle technique. Ribbings at the body and the sleeves are worked, before they are bound off with the tubular method. The neckline is shaped with short rows (here: German short rows).
