The Riddari was designed by Védís Jónsdóttir for Ístex, the company renowned for producing Icelandic Lopi yarn.

The pattern is available in English, Icelandic, German, Danish and French, featuring a single design in two colors: brown and green. The result is a beautiful Icelandic sweater, or lopapeysa, crafted from Ístex’s Léttlopi yarn.
