Keilir pattern is a  simple design of a traditional Icelandic wool sweater. The pattern is knitted with Álafosslopi, making Keilir sweater extra warm and cozy! Keilir Lopapeysa will be a movie start next winter, so stay tuned!

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.

Gauge
10x10cm = 13 sts and 18 rows on 7mm needles.

Circular needles: 7mm and 6mm, 40 and 60/80 cm (depending on your size)
Double-pointed needles: 7mm and 6mm

Note that the pattern is knitted in the round, so it‘s good to knit the swatch in the round as well.

NOTE: I knit quite tightly so you may need to use a smaller needle size. I recommend knitting a swatch to test the tension.
This pattern has slim fit and a shorter body length, if you prefer a wider fit you should consider sizing.
