Háifoss is a top-down, raglan sweater with an all over texture. You begin at the neck and work down through the yoke increasing in the sleeves and body as you go. After your yoke is the correct length you separate for the sleeves and knit the rest of the body. Afterwards you knit each sleeve in the round.

Haifoss is a modified compound raglan, meaning you start out increasing at a faster rate at the start of the yoke and then increase at a slower rate for a really nice fit. You can see the ‘S’ curve in the raglan line in the first photo.

This sweater has an all over stitch pattern. The yoke is fully charted for every size, these charts are in the second PDF. If you don’t like charts then the pattern also includes instructions for using markers to make increasing in pattern easier. There are a few pages of explanation on how to do this in the yoke and sleeves with drawings to hopefully make it as clear as possible. I refer to these as inner markers.

SIZES
Finished Bust Measurements
34.75 (40, 45.25, 50.75, 56)(61.25, 66.75, 72) inches, {88.5 (101.5, 115, 129, 142)(155.5, 169.5, 183) cm}
I recommend choosing a finished bust measurement that is around 2 - 6″ {5 - 15 cm} larger than your actual bust measurement. Sample is size 2 with 4″ {10 cm} of positive ease.
