MORA Icelandic Lopapeysa Sweater
This pattern includes instructions for both a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved version.
MORA Lopapeysa sweater is a unique design in the tradition of Icelandic knitting. The floral motif was inspired by traditional Austrian embroidery patterns. Body and sleeves are worked in the round from lower edge to underarms, then joined to work yoke in the round. Round begins at left side of body. On yoke, round begins on the left side of back at the joining of body and sleeve. For knitting the sleeves, I recommend using the ‘magic loop’ technique, which helps you to avoid bunching up when enlarging and also saves your time.
