The Lundar sweater for women. The word Lundar means Puffins, and puffins are one of my favorite birds, and they live a part of the year in the Faroe Islands.

Gauge:
17 sts and 29 rounds per 10 cm / 4 inches knitted in the round with 4.5 (US 7) needles with one color. Adjust needle size if necessary, to achieve the correct knitting gauge.

Skills:
You have to know how to cast on and bind off, how to decrease and increase, and how to knit using more than one color. If you are not experienced with Fair Isle, I recommend looking up on Youtube how you do with the floats on the back.

You can choose to knit this sweater in two colors as seen in the pictures or use a third color, for the pattern. The Lundar sweater for kids has 3 colors.
