Anniversary - Golden Heather Knitting Kit
Afmæli — the Anniversary sweater — is a modern classic lopapeysa: a golden heather Léttlopi body crowned with a joyful multicolour yoke in white, lapis blue, black, pine green, rust and brick. Body and sleeves are worked in the round, then joined for the circular yoke. The pattern gives separate body and sleeve lengths for men and women.
Included
- Icelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
- Knitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase
- Knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles
