Why you'll love it
- One of her favouritesJörð means earth. Védís Jónsdóttir writes that the colours of the earth, the circle of the sun and the eight-pointed star make it one of her favourite patterns.
- Patterned from hem to neckBody and sleeves are two-stranded all the way, in a 38-round repeat that moves through brick, violet, blue, green, gold and rust over oatmeal and beige.
- A 14 cm ribbed collarThe collar is picked up around the neck and worked in k1, p1 rib for 14 cm; the hem and cuffs are ribbed to match.
- Knitted round, cut for sleevesThe body is knitted in the round up to the neck with purl stitches over the armholes, which are stitched and cut before the sleeves are sewn in.
- Eleven colours, or your ownKeep the earth colours, or swap any of the eleven for another Léttlopi shade in the colour picker, at no charge. The pattern also shows a blue version.
