Orka is an Icelandic sweater knitted in Plötulopi. The pattern includes two colour schemes – earth tones and greyscale – where the shades transition smoothly into each other.
Orka means energy and draws its inspiration from a wave of power that rises from within and extends outwards. The body and sleeves are knitted in the round from the bottom up and joined to form a yoke with raglan decreases and a shaped neckline.
