Overview
What's in the kit
Viktor — a remake of the sweater Leifur, which was itself based on a popular fisherman’s sweater named Viktoria. A one-colour Léttlopi pullover in deep ocean blue with a textured double-moss-stitch yoke instead of colourwork, twisted-rib edges and a collar tipped in apricot. Body and sleeves are knitted in the round to the underarms, then the front and back are worked flat in double moss stitch and the sleeves sewn in — a sturdy, classic men’s sweater with a good long size range (XS–3XL).
