Eyjar — Knitting pattern

Original design by: Védís Jónsdóttir

Eyjar is a classic Icelandic yoke sweater worked in airy Plötulopi. The body begins with back and front ribs worked flat and then joined to knit in the round, while sleeves are knit in the round and later united with the body. The yoke showcases a striking motif and comfortable shaping, finished with a tall ribbed collar.
