Tippetue sweater is a warm sweater named after one of the trails winding up Fløyfjellet in Bergen. The sweater is knitted bottom-up, with picked-up stitches for the sleeves. The shoulders are grafted using Kitchener stitch, and the neckline can be finished as either a single-layered or a double-layered collar that is folded down and sewn in place. The sweater is knitted in a main color with two stripe colors, or you can use leftover yarn and knit stripes in different colors.
