Why you'll love it
- A promise of friendshipLoforð means promise. In the pattern’s words: different paths, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, but our friendship is tightly knit.
- Two yarns togetherThe light beige body is Álafosslopi. The bands at the hem, sleeves and shoulders add one strand of Léttlopi, in six shades from fjord blue to grape.
- A shawl collarThe seed-stitch front bands widen into a shawl collar, shaped with short rows and grafted together at the back of the neck.
- V-neck, sewn-in sleevesThe front is shaped into a V-neck. The armholes are cut open and the sleeves sewn in; the sleeve is 53 cm in every size.
- Beige, or your choiceThe pattern also shows a black tweed version. Keep the light beige, or swap any colour for another shade of the same yarn at no charge.
