Riddari — the Knight — is one of the best-loved Icelandic lopapeysa patterns: a classic round-yoke pullover knitted in Léttlopi, here in the pattern’s original murky brown with a yoke in black, straw and barley. Body and sleeves are worked in the round from the lower edge, then joined to knit the yoke in the round.
