Einir is a digital knitting pattern from Ístex for an Icelandic sweater with a raglan yoke. The pattern is knitted in Álafosslopi and is suitable for those who appreciate a classic Icelandic sweater with stylish pattern details.
The sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. Then the body and sleeves are joined, and the yoke is shaped with raglan decreases and short rows for a comfortable fit over the shoulders and neck.
