A top down construction and modern take on a traditional Icelandic lopapeysa. Inspired by the vibrant and fun handdyed colours by Slettuskjótt.

You can use it on a cool evening on your porch or deck, as a wrap or blanket, in front of the TV over your feet and legs, or wear it with a pin in poncho style. It makes for a great gift!

This is an Icelandic yoke sweater with a very modern fit. I call it “expedition style”: the back edge curves down and is longer than the front edge, the body is fitted, the sleeves are very slim and have a thumb hole as well as elbow shaping, the hood is snug to give extra warmth, even when not on your head it makes a protective collar. “Smali”...
