Around the world sweater
From € 6,12
Around the world is an Icelandic lopi yoke sweater with a hood and zipper. Knitted in the round from the bottom up and steeked. Back knitted higher. Optional waist shaping. Hood can be ommited. High hip lenght but can be made longer. The sweater comes in sizes XS to 5XL. It is a quick knit, worked on big needles at a relatively loose gauge with my favorite Icelandic wool blend: a single strand of plötulopi together with my fine lambswool lace Love Story.

I designed this sweater for my youngest daughter (she´s 18) who just left on a year trip around the world! I made it exactly like she wanted and she promised she would take pictures of the sweater in all the countries she is visiting. Of course I will let you follow along!
