This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Top-Down Icelandic Sweater »

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Traditional


Materials

I used Lettllopi and Pltulopi for the pattern. I bought this yarn last summer at Alafoss on Iceland. This is my first topdown icelandic sweater. I have made several topdown in other yarns. Love this pattern.

What was your inspiration?

Raggas class on Craftsy . I have also knitted Freyja and love that sweater a lot.

What are you most proud of?

That I used a new way to start.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Always have a "maincolor" when knitting with two strand and keep that strand ower the other strand. That get a nice surface when it finished.
