Hending
This pattern is maybe not the most traditional Icelandic Wool sweater style, I’m calling it Hending (Lopapeysa). Hending means an event or something that happens, an incident or occurrence. I threw this together as a sample to see different color combos for another project. And as I looked at it more and more, I just had to make it a pattern! I’m loving the untraditional but traditional look of my Hending pattern.
Hending sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.
