Týra is a warm Icelandic-style yoke sweater for children, inspired by the colours and distinctive coat markings of the Icelandic Sheepdog.

Worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, the sweater features a softly geometric stranded-colourwork yoke. An optional decorative border can be worked above the hem and cuffs—or omitted for a simpler version.

Choose between a classic crew neck and the original cosy high neck. With six sizes covering ages 4–14 years and approximately 8–11 cm of positive ease, Týra has a comfortable fit with room for growing and layering.
