This is an Icelandic yoke sweater with a very modern fit. I call it “expedition style”: the back edge curves down and is longer than the front edge, the body is fitted, the sleeves are very slim and have a thumb hole as well as elbow shaping, the hood is snug to give extra warmth, even when not on your head it makes a protective collar. “Smali”...
