patterns > Traditions Revisited: Modern Estonian Knits
> Vormsi
Vormsi
Vormsi is one of Estonia’s smaller islands and this vikkel pattern is a variation on a traditional Vormsi sock. The pattern is meant to evoke the feeling of waves in the Baltic sea.
This yoke sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down.
The sleeves feature a vikkel stitch pattern with ribbing from Vormsi that runs from about the elbow to end of the sleeve.
