Ýlir - Knitting pattern
✓ No surprises on delivery — U.S. duties & taxes settled at checkout
Ýlir is a classic Icelandic cardigan with a bold colorwork yoke and a clean buttoned front you’ll steek and finish with neat bands. Worked in warm, durable Álafosslopi, it’s built for everyday wear and deep winter. Body and sleeves are knit in the round to the underarm, then joined for the yoke; a secured steek is cut before bands and collar are picked up. Five inclusive sizes, clear charts and practical notions make this a confidence‑building project.
