Original design by: Védís Jónsdóttir

Alexander is a round‑yoke Icelandic sweater that combines bold stranded patterns with the timeless warmth of Léttlopi wool. Worked seamlessly from the lower edge to the collar, the body and sleeves meet at the yoke for a smooth finish. Short‑row shaping at the back neck adds comfort, and the front collar opening is finished with two buttons for ease. This versatile design comes in two striking color palettes and a full size range from XS to 3XL.
