Einföld is a unisex children’s Icelandic sweater pattern available in sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 years in English and Icelandic.

Inspired by the sprouting sidewalks of Reykjavík, the black and white design hints at dandelions, thistles, and mushrooms, or perhaps street lamps or iron gates in the snow.

Einföld is Icelandic for “easy”, and with just two colours, clear instructions, and no fiddly buttons or zipper, it’s a relatively easy pattern. Lopapeysa beginners, this is your chance to shine.

Happy knitting!

Peysan er prjónuð í hring, neðan frá og upp. Fyrst er búkur prjónaður upp að handvegi og ermar sömuleiðis. Þá eru lykkjur fyrir handveg settar upp á band eða lykkjuhaldara og stykkin þrjú sameinuð á einn prjón. Axlastykkið er unnið í einu lagi og mótað með einföldum úrtökum.

Góða skemmtun!
