Brautir — Earthtone Knitting kit

Brautir — Lanes: “one by one, joined together, creating unity.” An unusual, graphic Álafosslopi cardigan built from twelve pieces knitted flat in blocks of colour, each edged in seed stitch and then sewn together so the colour lanes run up the body and sleeves. V-neck, hook-and-eye closures at the front. This is the earth-tone colourway: black heather, indigo, highland green, ash, grey, wheat and chocolate. Three roomy sizes; the same amount of yarn is used for every size.

Included

• Icelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
• Knitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase
• Knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles
