Beautiful and harmonious color gradations are the signature of this Icelandic inspired yoke sweater. Reykir uses four natural, undyed colorways (straight off the sheep!) to create an intricate pattern against a light background. Cozy and warm eco wool in a bulky weight will knit up quickly. The colors can be reversed to create a new look, with a dark background fading to natural off-white.

This pattern includes sizes to fit a 32 (36, 40, 44) (48, 52, 56) (60, 64)” or 81 (91, 102, 112) (122, 132, 142) (152, 163) cm chest circumference. #sizeinclusive
