Penguin Lopapeysa is a cheerful colorwork sweater designed by Olga Begak. Knit in Ístex Léttlopi, it combines a classic Icelandic lopapeysa silhouette with a charming ring of penguins around the yoke. The palette of stone blue, air blue, white, black, and mimosa creates a fresh, wintry look that still feels playful and graphic.
