HAMINGJA
Hamingja is a traditional Icelandic cardigan, lopapeysa, in two different colour versions. One with a white or light base colour and one with a darker base colour.
The sweater is knit in the round with stranded knitting in the yoke as well as around the wrists and the hip. Knitting in the round, and decreasing symmetrically around the yoke, is typical for Icelandic sweaters. There is no seaming needed in the sweater itself, except for a few stitches where you attach the sleeves to the body with invisible stitches. In this case, the sweater is turned into a cardigan by steeking along the front once the yoke is finished. Then button bands are knitted on to both sides.
Hamingja is knit in plötulopi, Icelandic unspun pre-yarn held double. The unspun yarn may seem fragile when knitting it, but thanks to the long fiber of the Icelandic sheep, the result is a strong and soft fabric. The Icelandic sheep has a wool with unusually long outer fibres with tough and water-resistant qualities, combined with fine, soft inner fibers that insulate against cold temperatures. Added to this, the yarn is produced only with natural energy from geothermal power, which makes a sustainable production of a long-lasting and functional material.
The cardigan is knit bottom up. You start with either the body or the sleeves and then place them together on the needles and knit the yoke in one piece. The yoke starts from the steeking stitches at the center front. For instructions on different decreases, short-rows, the bind-off used etc, check http://instructions.linneaornstein.se.
