Lilja is a digital knitting pattern from Ístex for a classic Icelandic cardigan with a multi-coloured pattern. The pattern is knitted in Álafosslopi and Léttlopi and is suitable for those who appreciate traditional Icelandic design with beautiful colour combinations.
The cardigan is knitted from side to side, with each part knitted separately. First the left sleeve is knitted, then the body and finally the right sleeve, before the garment is assembled and crocheted along the edges.
