Galdur pattern is a simple and fun pattern to knit. It’s got a little bit of the classic Icelandic wool sweater look but also a little different look.

Galdur sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round. A few of my test knitters did however knit their sweaters from top to bottom. As the pattern is easy to follow, you can simply start at the neck and follow it down if you prefer to knit top to bottom.
