Gimsteinn Light Ash Wool Sweater Dress - Knitting Kit
This practical knitted sweater dress has lovely twinkling jewels adorning the hem and yoke. Hence the name – gimsteinn is Icelandic for jewel. Magical nature, glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls and hot springs are certainly the first things that come to mind about Iceland. All of this inspired Johanna to design this beautiful and practical dress, with lovely jewels sparkling on the hem and yoke. The dress is nice to wear with leggings.
Johanna Vaurio-Teräväinen, or Johannavau, is a Finnish knitting designer whose passion for Iceland and Icelandic horses led her to specialize in Icelandic knitting and she finds inspiration in the rich colors of Icelandic yarns.

Why you'll love it
- Jewels at hem and yokeGimsteinn is Icelandic for jewel, the pattern explains: small jewels twinkle in the deep band above the hem and all round the yoke.
- The dark grey versionDark grey, with light ash as the main pattern colour and jewels in celery green, lagoon, glacier blue, violet and royal fuchsia — a colourway named in the pattern.
- Shape it your wayChoose between two hem widths, and keep or leave out the waist decreases and the small cable panels to change the shape of the body.
- Wear it either way roundThe front and back of the dress are the same, so it can be worn either way.
- Your jewels, your coloursKeep the dark grey and its six jewel colours, or swap any of them for another Léttlopi shade in the colour picker at no charge.
