Hraunjaðar
Body and sleeves are worked in the round from lower edge to underarms, then joined to work yoke in the round. Short rows are added to lift the back and lower the front. Each round of the body begins on the left side of the sweater, but the yoke rounds begin where the back of the sweater meets the left sleeve.
The pattern is easy to knit, with short chart repeats. There aren’t any overly long float between stitches.
About the yarn: I used the beautiful Einrum-E+2 a fingering weight Icelandic wool yarn that’s plied with a strand of silk. It’s light, lofty, and the silk gives it a subtle sheen, resulting in a unique, beautiful yarn that’s a joy to knit with.
