Preview – yarn shades may differ from screen colours.

Create your own colour combination for Riddari! Here in our webshop, you can change the four yarn colours and see how the sweater looks in your chosen shades. Try soft, closely related tones or lively contrasts that highlight the beautiful yoke – until you find your favourite combination.

Riddari is a classic Icelandic sweater with a colourwork yoke and matching borders at the cuffs and hem. The yarn kit contains Léttlopi by Ístex, a rustic, warm yarn made from 100% Icelandic wool – for a sweater to reach for on chilly days and enjoy for years to come.

The sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up. The body and sleeves are worked separately, then placed on the same circular needle to knit the colourwork yoke.

Design: Védís Jónsdóttir for Ístex.
