Instructions

Make sure the sleeves are not too short, I had to add a lot of length so they would fit.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Traditional, Classic, Cute, Ethnic, Eco-Friendly


Materials

lafoss pltulopi: unspun icelandic wool.

What was your inspiration?

I had leftover yarn that fit for this recipe and I always wanted to make it since I saw it first.

What are you most proud of?

The fit, it fits perfectly, I mixed together 2 sizes to make it perfect for me.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Check that the sleeves will be long enough, the recipe made them extremely short, but I added length where the single color is in the pattern and I think I got away with it without "disturbing" the pattern too much.

What a beautiful sweater! The patterns are unusual and look awesome in the colours you have used. Was the yarn made in Iceland?

Yes, it's Icelandic unspun plate wool used double, and sometimes with 2 different colors to make the gradient effect. :)

It's in a magazine called "Lopi og Band 1. tbl. 2011", it's only in Icelandic so far as I know, and I haven't found any shop that ships the magazine outside of Iceland either. :S

I guess you could contact the publisher of the magazine to ask if they can send it, here's a link to their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lopi-Band/117205958369686 Hope it helps! ^_^
