Ysolda Threipmuir is a top-down pullover with a dramatic round yoke. This yoke is inspired by Icelandic Lopapeysas, but the finer gauge provides a larger canvas for more intricate patterning. The fairly deep yoke and slightly dropped underarm combine with positive ease for a slouchy, comfortable fit. The colorwork slowly feathers into the main color avoiding the heaviness, and the unflattering line across the chest, that can sometimes result from deeper yoke patterns. The colorwork pattern is charted only.
