A lot the beauty - and the more interesting part - of this sweater lies in the hems and neck edging. The stitch pattern for the edging is really simple (knit sts only! some of them are slipped, though), but changing colours between the light main colour and the gradually changing contrast colours creates a great effect.
Pattern: Clover (for children) (Rav link) by Helga Isager/Amimono enlarged to my size. This pattern was originally created as an adult sweater, but the children's version is knitted on smaller needles at a finer tension and I liked that. I used the Granite pattern as a guideline (or rather, what I remembered off the top of my head from knitting Granite) since the construction is the same.
Yarn: Main colour: one strand of Isager Alpaca 2, offwhite, and one strand of light grey Cashmere 28/2 (wool/cashmere 90/10, 1400m/100g) from garnudsalg.dk. Contrast colours: Blackhill Højlandsuld from garnudsalg.dk in Asters, Slikkepind, Rosenknop, and Honning and Holst Garn Supersoft in Gladioli. Finished weight is 240 g.
Needles: 4.0 mm for the body, 3.0 mm for the edging.

Once again: this looks lovely! And I was wondering if that was a slipped stitch section on the hems. So neat. Congrats on such a great FO!
Wauw! Den er flot Birgitte! Enkel og klassisk med det lille fine hulmønster og så alligevel lidt fræk med de farvede kanter:-)
Den er superflot, en god ide at gøre den tyndere. Du må da snart have strikket dig igennem de fleste amimonomodeller?
Meget flot kant, enkelt og med en touch af overraskelse.
Lovely jumper. I particularly like the cuff and hem colours :)
Wauw.... Hold da fast, hvor er den smuk og dejlig og flot og alt muligt!
Den store røde cardigan fra sidste indlæg var også lækker, men denne er bare helt fantastisk!
Det er bare SÅ smuk! lækker,lækker kant!
Den er helt utrolig fin! Supersmuk til dig og både lidt rå og meget feminin på en gang. Me like!
