Lady Loki is the grown-up version of my popular Loki baby/kid sweater published a decade ago. It has the look of a classic Icelandic yoke sweater, the lopapeysa, but some modifications make it a more modern garment. I decided to use the top-down method and lift up the back of the neck with some short rows for a better fit around the shoulders. ...

This is a tiny version of the classic Icelandic Lopi Sweater, Lopapeysa if you want to practice your Icelandic!

Aviary Lopi is has a classic Icelandic yoke sweater, lopapeysa, known for the geometric repetetive pattern. Although the look is classic, the method of top-down knitting is not the conventional Icelandic one. Also the improved fit attained with short rows placed at the bottom of the yoke pattern, is not a traditional component at all… but it su...

The Freyja cardigan originally came into the world a decade ago (in 2010) and was my first published Icelandic lady-sweater. To date it is still one of my most popular knitting patterns.

This is a fun knit! Top-down, my favorite construction, with so many benefits.

Vár, the ancient Norse goddess of protection and covenants, is an excellent secret keeper. This pattern honors her with the look of a classic Icelandic yoked sweater while incorporating hidden modifications to create a flattering finished sweater for all shapes and sizes. This pattern will be your secret to customizing a flawless sweater season.

The sweater is knit top-down, using a circular needle. I prefer using a 32” needle (or longer) and the magic loop method - a method that allows the knitter to use a long circular needle for knitting any diameter. The construction is seamless - meaning in the end you’ll only have a few ends to weave in, no Kitchener drama or anything of the liki...

Created and photographed in the remote Icelandic Westfjords, a little whimsical star could just be the perfect holiday gift for someone you happen to like very much

Puffypom is a quick project suitable for most knitters. It knits up quickly with fairly large needles and the yummy, bulky Puffin yarn (or other yarn with similar yardage).

In Reykjavík Iceland houses are either made of timber or concrete. The timber houses are most often covered in corrugated metal and that’s also the most common material for roofs. This makes for a fun canvas for the creative people of Reykjavík and they paint their roofs and houses in bright, fun colors.

This is the Icelandic version of Iðunn.

The mitten is worked in the round in stockinette stitch. Picot edging around the opening.

This is a revised version of the pattern Loki. The new version includes the original cardigan version AND a pullover version plus steeking instructions for crochet steek.

A few years ago I got the most ridiculous request to knit a Christmas sweater for a charity project that was to be launched two days later. Since I’m completely mad, have a soft heart and absolutely adore the (then) mayor of Reykjavík, Jón Gnarr, who was to receive and model the sweater I said yes I knit the yoke top down and used a machine to ...

A lovely pattern for a baby/toddler cardigan by Ragga Eiriksdottir. The seamless design makes it really comfortable for the little person in your life.

This is the 2.0 version of the Óðinn pattern. It contains both the original bottom up version and the (more fun) top down version.

A lovely tunic made from Icelandic lopi under Japanese influence:

This lovely lopapeysa (Icelandic for the classic woollen yoke sweater/cardigan). It is knitted from the lightweight and versatile unspun Lopi. The pattern is an old eight petal rose taken from the Icelandic “Sjónabók”, a collection of old patterns found in Icelandic art and handcrafts through the ages.

When Nammi first came on the market a lot of knitters contacted me to ask about shawl and scarf patterns.

A light and lovely top-down raglan. Snug fitting with pretty YO increases. Made from my lovely handdyed Nammi, about 100g (no longer available). The base is the Icelandic laceweight Einband but you might want to check out the lovely plant dyed Hespa yarn by my friend Guðrún the botanist.

Enjoy this supercute baby hat that was first published in Icelandic in Prjóniprjón.
