Aviary Lopi is has a classic Icelandic yoke sweater, lopapeysa, known for the geometric repetetive pattern. Although the look is classic, the method of top-down knitting is not the conventional Icelandic one. Also the improved fit attained with short rows placed at the bottom of the yoke pattern, is not a traditional component at all… but it sure works!

Measurements:
Chest circumference (finished garment): 89 (98, 106.5, 113.5, 120, 131) cm // 35.5 (39, 42.75, 45.25, 48, 52.5) inches.
Sleeve length measured from underarm: 47 (48, 49, 50, 51, 52) cm // 18.5 (19, 19.25, 19.75, 20, 20.5) inches.
Note: As the sweater is knitted from the neck down, it’s easy to adjust length of both body and sleeves. Regard the numbers above as suggestions rather than rock-hard guidelines.
