Smástirni — Knitting pattern

Smástirni (“Asteroids”) is a playful hooded cardigan where everything orbits the bold yoke motif. The body and sleeves are worked in the round with a purled steek at the front; once secured and cut, the hood and bands are finished neatly with snaps for fuss‑free dressing.
