Lluvia lopapeysa
This sweater is knitted in the beautiful tradition of the Icelandic lopapeysa sweater, on circular or double pointed needles, seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.
️ Its yoke features a striking jacquard pattern, inspired by raindrops dancing on the earth during a fiery storm. Shades of deep indigo, burnt orange, warm mustard, and soft beige create a bold and dynamic contrast—like the sky ablaze before the rain kisses the land.
✨ Knitting this sweater is like capturing the energy of nature itself: vibrant, untamed, and full of life. Whether you see the storm or the sun breaking through, one thing is certain—this design is an ode to imagination, color, and the pure joy of creating.
The sweater is knitted bottom-up. You start by knitting the body and both sleeves up to the yoke. The underarm stitches of the body and the sleeves are transferred to pieces of scrap yarn or stitch holders and the remaining stitches of the body and the sleeves are combined on a circular knitting needle to form the yoke which is shaped by simple decreases until the neckline stitches are cast off. The underarm stitches on the body and the sleeves are grafted together by the Kitchener stitch.
