Glitrandi (kimalteleva) pusero ja hame on sporttinen ulkoiluvaate, jossa pärjää hyvin vaikka keli olisi pakkasella. Malli on kuitenkin naisellisesti muotoiltu ja tyköistuva.

Voit käyttää vaatteita yhdessä tai erikseen. Hameosa on ihanteellinen retkivaate pitäen lantion ja pepun lämpimänä vaikka taukokivellä istuessa.

Tummalla pohjalla puseron ja hameen vaaleat kuviot luovat vahvan kontrastin ja kuviot pääsevät suorastaan loistamaan ja kimaltelemaan. Malli toimii todella kauniisti myös vaaleilla ja herkillä sävyillä. Voit myös korvata mallivaatteissa käytetyn Alafosslopi -langan halutessasi kaksinkertaisilla Lettlopilla tai Plötulopilla.

ENGLISH

Glitrandi (means sparkling) sweater and skirt are sporty outdoor garments, which will keep you warm even when the temperature falls below zero. The model is still feminine and fitting. You can use the sweater and skirt either together or separately. The skirt is an ideal hiking garment, as it keeps your bottom and hips warm even when taking a little break.

On dark main colour the contrast will be strong, and the pattern sparkles. The pattern works just as well with light and softer tones.

The yarn used is Alafosslopi, but you can use double Lettlopi or Plötulopi instead just as well.
Glitrandi sweater is quick to knit. As with many Icelandic sweaters, the sleeves are knitted first, followed by the body, and the yoke comes last, combining everything into a completed garment. The front and back of the sweater and skirt are the same, so they can be worn either way.

The wool of Icelandic sheep has adapted to the harsh conditions of the northern island country and is characterized by its ability to withstand wind and moisture. In Iceland, garments made of this wool are used both indoors and outdoors, depending on their thickness.

Wearing this combination, you can go out in temperatures below zero just as easily as in a drizzle, especially once you have made the fabric ”bloom” with finishing touches and wear.

The best Finnish alternative to Icelandic wool is perhaps the wool of Åland sheep. If the wool’s properties in outdoor activities are not essential to your dress, you can replace the wool of Icelandic sheep with any local alternative you like. Always ensure your gauge matches the pattern by knitting a swatch.
Wishing you enjoyable knitting!
