- Fighting spirit, with joyBaráttugleði means fighting spirit. The pattern asks you to hold on to the joy of justice, enjoy colourful days and fight for a better world.
- Colour blocks in two strandsThe body is knitted with two strands of Einband held together, changing the pair as you go — dark green and teal at the hem, through blue and brick to crimson and cherry.
- Sleeves full of patternEach sleeve is knitted in the round with single strands, following a 133-round chart of bands and small motifs in all fourteen colours.
- A seed-stitch V-neckHem, cuffs and the V-neckband are worked in seed stitch, and the neckband is decreased at the point of the V on every round.
- Fourteen colours to play withKeep the colours as the pattern has them, or swap any of the fourteen for another Einband shade in the colour picker, at no charge.
