This is a pattern of a modern and colourful sweater, developed from the traditional Icelandic style.

Mix and match your own combinations of colours and get an unique and playful sweater! This sweater requires some basic knowledge and you need to know how to work knit/pearl, pattern and kitchener stitches.

The yarn to be used is the Icelandic Lopí, that is spun from sheep in Iceland. The yarn has great features; warming yet breathes. It’s also a bit water repellant as a result of the natural grease in the sheep wool. A great material for outdoor adventures!
