BIRTA - Turquoise wool sweater - Knitting Kit

Birta — Brightness. A cheerful all-over patterned sweater from the Álafoss archive, redesigned by Védís Jónsdóttir for chunky Álafosslopi, here in the turquoise-and-grey colourway of arctic exposure, black heather and light ash. Raglan shaping, a folded double collar patterned to match, and a relaxed fit in three generous sizes. Knitted in the round from the bottom up; the pattern starts with the sleeves, and their length sets the body length — knit them shorter for a cropped look.

Included

• Icelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered
