Knit Modern Scandi Sweaters

A collection of 12 knitting patterns taking a fresh look at the traditional Icelandic sweater.

These designs are based on the traditional Icelandic lopapeysa sweater but they use exciting colours and patterns to give them a really modern look.

The patterns are knitted top down and in the round which is a very popular method with knitters because there is no seaming to do and the body and arm lengths are easily adjustable.

Nordic and Scandinavian knitting is a popular theme for knitters around the world and Icelandic sweaters are iconic.
