Not all Nordic chic is fair isle; sometimes it's intarsia and purl stitches. Here's a striking sweater and hat with magnificent good looks-- and no steeking, either. Sleeves are worked flat (albeit on a circular needle); the body is worked in the round to the armholes, then divided for front and back and worked back and forth. The chevron pattern is essentially made up of twisted stitches, 1/1 cables without a cable needle, knitting into either the front or back of the second stitch on the left needle. Cuffs and hem are, well, hemmed. Hat is worked in two pieces and seamed afterwards. This is the first design from Dale of Norway's Book 126.
