Castle Lettlopi Blue Short Wool sweater - Knitting Kit

Kastali — Castle: “this pattern has many stories to tell with mountains, battlements, shields and lances. Fly in your dreams.” This is the cropped version of Védís Jónsdóttir’s Kastali: a short Léttlopi pullover with a deep 7 cm rib at the hem and cuffs, patterned sleeves and a wide circular yoke, here in fjord blue with milkyway blue and white. Body and sleeves are worked in the round, then joined for the yoke; the neck edge is left to roll.
