I want my next nålbinding project to be a pullover sweater, so I thought this was a good project to practice. This yarn is a very soft and loosely spun merino, acrylic, and cashmere blend that I thrifted. I was fortunate to find multiple balls of this yarn, however, this used just one 50g ball.

This was my first project in Mammen stitch, which is the same structure as Oslo, but incorporating an additional loop in each stitch. This will make it a bit heavier and warmer, and potentially stiffer. Structurally, this was made top down, and after completing a tube that will keep my neck warm, I increased equidistantly in eight places until I decided I was done.

I took notes, and I’ll use what I learned in making a sweater. Next time, I’ll increase in 10 places…
