Hjaltlandspeysa Cardigan & Pullover
When Iceland meets Shetland! Simply by changing the color combination, Hjaltlandspeysa, “a lopi sweater from Shetland”, looks dramatically from Shetland (bue sweaters) or dramatically from Iceland (white & brown sweater). Truth is, it is a blend of both traditions to which I added my own personal flair.
Hjaltlandspeysa has my signature short rows to create a natural neckline and a clever shaping for a flattering fit. I’m also sharing a handy tip of mine to steek the sweater the Icelandic way (with 2 purl stitches) but without having to use the sewing machine!
