Overview
What's in the kit
Hvammur is a sturdy Icelandic lopapeysa in chunky Álafosslopi — here in the Brown colourway: chocolate with a bold yoke in burnt orange, chartreuse green and ray of light. Deep ribbing at hem and cuffs — 7 cm of k2, p3 drawn in to k2, p2 — and a tall ribbed collar give it a rugged, classic look. The pattern gives separate sleeve lengths for women and men.
