Icelandic classic Wool sweater knitting kit

Vikings laughing with good friends or just a crowd of energetic bearded men. This classical “Lopapeysa” is knitted from 2-ply Plötulopi. I like designing different patterns for body and sleeves that do not mirror the yoke pattern and here the ribs are also in different colors.
