Overview
What's in the kit
Gleði means happiness in Icelandic — and this long, sunny cardigan-jacket is the feminine take on the Kátir karlar (Happy Men) pattern. Knitted in golden-yellow Plötulopi held double, with a patterned yoke and hem bands in ash and white, gentle A-line shaping and neat single-ply hems and facings. Knitted in the round with a cut front (steek) and closed with three hook-and-eye pairs at the yoke.
