Ysolda Strokkur PDF

Traditional Icelandic Lopapeysas inspired Strokkur from Ysolda: cozy sweaters with colorful yoke patterns. Strokkur features a more refined fit than many classic yoked sweaters. It is worked from the bottom up with gentle waist shaping. The yoke patterning is fairly short; to flatteringly frame the face and avoid bagginess around the underarm. Short rows are worked both above and below the stranded colorwork to create a scooped neckline. The colorwork pattern is in chart form only.
