Hjörð — Knitting pattern
Original design by: Védís Jónsdóttir
Hjörð (“Herd”) captures the energy of reindeer dashing over winter wilds. The cover is worked as a seamless tube in stranded colorwork before being grafted closed for a clean, reversible finish. It’s an ideal quick knit in Álafosslopi that adds bold Nordic character to your living space.
