I found the most delightful Norwegian knitting patterns here and here. Unfortunately for me, not all the patterns come in English, and I want them all!
I have two of their wonderful patterns, but this is the first one that I have actually knitted.
This pattern is called the All Year Round Jacket, and it is knitted totally in a three by three ribbed pattern. It is very stretchy and bouncy. The pattern is a one size fits 2-5.
One of Aniyah’s favorite features of this pattern is the little pockets, just big enough to hold her treasures. This was the first time I have made pockets in a sweater and I almost eliminated them but decided that I wanted to learn how to make them.
I changed the pattern some by adding a band along the front. It kind of messed it up, so I added the buttons and it seemed to make up for it.

The Boutique Unforgettable yarn is from Red Heart and I purchased it at Walmart. It is a self striping yarn and comes in a few different colors. I am a huge fan of self striping yarns. This yarn was nice to knit and came out feeling really soft. I used two skeins for this project.
Aniyah will be able to wear this sweater for a few years because of the sizing. I always appreciate a pattern that allows for growing room.
Beautiful!
