Overview
What's in the kit
Dóttir — Daughter — is a light, quick-to-knit women’s sweater worked with two strands of unspun Plötulopi held together on big needles: surprisingly light, very soft and very warm. Sunset rose heather with the pattern in white — the colours of a Nordic evening sky. Designed by Johanna Vaurio-Teräväinen (Johannavau), a Finnish designer with a passion for Iceland and its wool.

Why you'll love it
- Daughter, in two coloursDóttir means daughter. Johanna Vaurio-Teräväinen made its clear patterns to be knitted in just two colours — here sunset rose heather and white.
- Quick on 7 mm needlesTwo strands of Plötulopi held together on 7 mm needles: quick to knit, the designer says, really warm and still light enough for every day.
- A collar with a drawstringThe pattern carries on up a tall collar, turned to the inside and sewn down, with an i-cord drawstring threaded through two small holes at the front.
- Twisted rib and a waistHem and cuffs start in a two-colour twisted rib, and the body is gently taken in at the waist and let out again.
- Sunset rose, or your choiceKeep the sunset rose and white, or pick any two Plötulopi shades in the colour picker at no charge — the designer only asks for enough contrast for the pattern to show.
