Hláka is a knitting pattern for an Icelandic children's sweater with a multi-coloured yoke, knitted in Fjallalopi.
Hláka means thaw, and the pattern draws inspiration from melting snow, changing air, and dark clouds moving across the sky. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round from the bottom up and joined before the yoke.
