Himinn og haf — Knitting pattern

Original design by: Védís Jónsdóttir

Himinn og haf captures fleeting light over open sea—contrasting bands that shift from lilac to blue. The fabric is intentionally loose for airy drape; finish with a simple folded hems and a tidy neckband.

Construction

Body and sleeves are worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarms and joined to work the yoke in the round. Round begins at the left side; on the yoke at the left‑back join. When joining, the first and last stitches of body and sleeves are knitted together to avoid holes. Body and yoke are worked with two strands of Einband; sleeves with one strand.
