Dragon Rider
This is a warm sweater in Tunisian crochet inspired by traditional Icelandic sweaters. This means that the sweater is crocheted in the round and has a yoke decorated in a style similar to the pearl embroideries that can be seen in the Greenlandic national costume. The pattern includes two different versions of yoke decorations as well as a number of different decorations to be placed around waist and wrists.
Since the sweater is crocheted in Létt-Lopi on a rather thin needle, it is quite warm. If you choose a lighter yarn or larger needle, you can make it lighter.
The sweater is made for both men and women. The sleeve length for sizes M-3X are chosen to fit men. For women the sleeves should be made 3-4 cm = 1-1½ inches shorter. Size 14 y.o. and S are no-tated as the same size with flexible sleeve length.
