Two strands of Plötulopi Icelandic wool are held together throughout the project. The pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, then worked flat for the front- and back panels. The shoulders are knit together using the three needle bind off, and then the neckline is picked up and knit in the round. The sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round. The sweater is very light and is designed to be a relaxed fit. The perfect sweater for Icelandic summer!

This sweater is designed to be intentionally oversized with a relaxed body and dramatic, roomy sleeves that taper at the wrist. To achieve the intended fit, choose a size that is 5 to 15 cm larger than your actual bust measurement. The designer is a standard size S and is pictured wearing the size S with 8cm of positive ease.
