This pattern may not look like the traditional Icelandic Wool sweaters but it’s knitted in the same way and also suggested to use the Icelandic wool, although any yarn that fits the gauge is also great. I’m calling this one Brotabrot. 

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.

Gauge
10x10cm = 18 sts and 26 rows on 5mm needles.

Circular needles: 4mm and 5mm, 40 and 60/80 cm (depending on your size)

Double-pointed needles: 4mm and 5mm

NOTE: I knit quite tightly so you may need to use 4,5mm or even 4mm I recommend knitting a swatch to test the tension.

This pattern has slim fit and a shorter body length, if you prefer a wider fit you should consider sizing up and/or adding a few cm in the body.

I also want to mention that if this pattern does not have your size, please feel free to contact me and I’ll help you grade the right size for you.
