Braggi pattern is a simple design of a traditional Icelandic wool sweater. The pattern is made for Álafosslopi, making Braggi sweater extra warm and cozy! When I saw these colors next to each other in my yarn stash, this pattern just came to me! I really like the simplicity of my Braggi Lopapeysa.

Braggi sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round, if you are used to knitting top down, the pattern is easy to follow the other way around if you prefer.

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.

If you need to knit a bigger width than the pattern offers, please contact me and I’ll help you calculate the width you need.
