Uddybende information

The Muslinge Sweater is a soft, elegant knit with a stunning cable and scallop design on the front. Knitted from the top down, this cozy pullover features raglan increases, seed stitch sleeves and sides, and a flattering relaxed fit with plenty of positive ease. The word "Musling" means scallop in Danish, referring to the beautifully structured pattern that defines the sweater’s front panel.


This pattern calls for holding together 1 strand of Gepard Cash Sock (416 m/100 g) and 2 strands of Gepard Kid Seta (210 m/25 g) to achieve a light, airy texture with excellent drape. Yarn amounts vary by size:




  • (XS) 150g Cash Sock / 150g Kid Seta

  • (S-M) 200g Cash Sock / 200g Kid Seta

  • (L) 250g Cash Sock / 250g Kid Seta

  • (XL) 300g Cash Sock / 300g Kid Seta


The Muslinge Sweater is available in sizes XS (S) M (L) XL, with finished bust measurements of (87) 95 (103) 116 (120) cm and body lengths from shoulder to hem of (46) 51 (51) 56 (60) cm. It is designed with approx. 10 cm of positive ease for a comfortable, oversized fit.


You will need circular needles in sizes 4.5 mm and 5.5 mm to complete the project. The stated gauge is 16 sts = 10 cm in seed stitch on 5.5 mm needles, using the yarn combination mentioned.


To calculate yardage:




  • Cash Sock (416 m/100 g) → 208 m/50 g

  • Kid Seta (210 m/25 g) → 420 m/50 g


With this luxurious blend, the sweater gains loft and softness while maintaining structure. The stitch definition highlights the intricate cable and scallop pattern, making it ideal for knitters who enjoy texture-rich garments.


Each sleeve is finished in seed stitch and shaped with gentle decreases. The body concludes with a tidy ribbed edge using twisted rib, enhancing the tailored feel. Techniques include make-one increases (M1L/M1R), twisted stitches, and simple cabling, making this pattern accessible yet engaging for intermediate knitters.


The Muslinge Sweater is the perfect project for those who appreciate timeless design, soft textures, and a beautiful knitwear silhouette that works year-round.

Dorte Bak Knitting startede i 2018 og har siden udgivet opskrifter i et klassisk udtryk "med finurlige" detaljer. Jeg er vokset op blandt kreative kvinder; alle kvinder i min familie har syet, strikket og skabt med hænderne. Derfor var det helt naturligt, at jeg som seksårig fik mine første strikkepinde i hånden. Alligevel var det først senere i livet, at strik for alvor greb mig – og siden har jeg ikke kunnet slippe det igen.
