Salka Valka
This modern top down Icelandic yoke sweater worked in the round comes with the option of a round shaped hood with a high neck line or hood-less with a lower neckline. Short rows are used, as well as stranded knitting in the yoke: use just one or many colours.
After designing this in 2019 it went on to be published in print only in Finnish. Here it is for you as a download in English, Deutsch & Íslenska.
Sizes are given for 2 different gauges, the yarns to chose from will knit up at either gauge resulting in a different drape. So make a swatch and block before you decide.
A: gauge 18 sts/ 26R per 10cm/ 4 inches
OR:
B: gauge 16 sts/22R ðer 10cm/ 4 inches
Body circumference:
A: (89, 96, 102, 109, 116) cm;
(35, 38, 40, 43, 45.5) inches.
B: (100, 108, 115, 123, 130) cm;
(39.5, 42.5, 45, 48, 51) inches.
Sleeve circumference at top:
A: (37, 37, 38, 39, 40) cm; (14.5, 14.5, 15, 15.5, 16) inches.
B: (41, 41, 43, 44, 45) cm;
(16, 16, 17, 17.5, 17.5) inches.
Length of body from under arm:
(38, 40, 40, 42, 44) cm;
(15, 16, 16, 16.5, 17.5) inches.
Length of sleeve from under arm: (48,50,50,51,52) cm;
(19, 19.5, 19.5, 20, 20.5) inches.
The yarn list is long but I wanted to include all the Icelandic options I love to work with. It is a matter of personal taste which gauge you choose:
Hulduband works up well at 18st for me using a 4mm needle, it ist soft and just the right density.
Tvíband from Thingborg I prefer at 16sts7 10cm with a 4.5mm.
A single thread of plötulopi, either handdyed by Hörpugull, or a combination of 1 strand plötulopi in sheep colour with a fine lace yarn, has a wonderful flow and makes lighter sweater that still is warm. (16sts/ 10cm on a 4þ5mm needle).
Tension differs from knitter to knitter, as does preference for density of your knitted fabric - so make a swatch!
For the pattern colour it totally works to take a slightly heavier - or denser yarn. I used plötulopi and lace yarn together in the main colour and a Tvíband with more density for the pattern.
Dieser moderne Islandpullover wird in Runden von oben gestrickt. Es gibt ihn mit 2 Optionen. Einmal mit einer runden Kapuze und einmal ohne Kapuze und tiefer sitzendem Halsausschnitt. Kurze Reihen sorgen für eine gute Passform.
Grössen siehe oben- es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten fuer die Strickprobe: A oder B - Strickprobe machen!
Material:
Es sind mehrere Möglichkeiten angegeben. Die
Garnstärken und -arten sind etwas
unterschiedlich. Es ist wichtig eine Maschenprobe zu machen und die Nadelstärke
anzupassen.
Die Garne 1,2 und 3 werden einen
warmen und etwas festeren Pullover erzeugen
bei 18 M / 10cm. Mit den Möglichkeiten 4 und 5 wird es ein leichter und lockerer Pullover bei
16 M /10cm. Es ist Geschmacksache, man/frau könnte auch von jeder Version einen stricken!
Íslensk peysa prjónuð ofanfrá, með hettu eða án hettu og víðu hálsmáli.
Styttar umferðir (ámæling) og tvíbandaprjón í berustykki. Veldu einn eða fleiri liti.
Stærðir fyrir ofan. Val á 2 prjónafestur: A eða B.
Nokkrir möguleikar af íslensku bandi eru gefnir upp sem valmöguleikar. Bandið er misþungt og misþétt. Nauðsynlegt er að gera prjónafestuprufu til þess að ákveða þéttleika eða léttleika peysunnar og til þess að fá rétta stærð. Band 1, 2 og 3 gefa þéttari og hlýrri peysu með prjónafestu 18 L/ 10cm. Óspunninn plötulopi eins og 4 og 5 gefa léttari peysu með prjónafestu 16L/10cm. Þetta er smekksatriði – eða maður getur prjónað eina af hvorri gerð.
