Tíglar Tveir

Traditional Icelandic pullovers made with Lopi yarn reflect the importance of Icelandic sheep and wool in the island nation. Tíglar means diamonds in Icelandic, in honor of the diamond motif in the yoke of this modern lopapeysa.

NOTES
•Body and sleeves are worked in the round from lower edge to underarms, then joined to work yoke in the round. Round begins at left side of body. On yoke, round begins on left side of back at the joining of body and sleeve.
•As stitches are increased for sleeves and decreased for yoke, change to shorter circular needle or double-pointed needles as needed to work comfortably in the round. Short-rows are worked on the back after pattern is complete to add length at the back neck.
