Telemark is a classic colourwork cardigan knitted in Peer Gynt. Worked from the bottom up following a traditional chart, it has a timeless look rooted in Norwegian knitting traditions.

The cardigan is worked from the bottom up. First, stitches are cast on for the front and back and the ribbed hem is worked flat. Extra steek stitches are then cast on at the centre front and the work is continued in the round following the chart. Finally, the centre front and armholes are cut open before the front bands, neckband, sleeves and facings are knitted. The model is 189 cm tall and wears size M.
