Intermediate. This pattern requires basic knit, purl and increase stitches as well as 2 stranded colourwork. However other construction techniques are required including casting on additional stitches. The sweater is knitted flat and, in the round, using charted instructions for the colourwork.

The Norfolk sweater is knit top down, first the back panel is knit flat, stitches are then picked up for the shoulders and sleeves, once the neckline shaping is complete the remainder of the yoke is worked in the round. Stitches are placed on hold for the sleeves while the body is knit in the round, sleeves are also knit in the round. Stitches are picked up for the neckline which is worked in the round and folded into a folded hem.
