🍂 Why You’ll Love Riddari
Riddari by Védís Jónsdóttir for Ístex is an Icelandic sweater, or lopapeysa, featuring a distinctive stranded-colorwork circular yoke. Designed for Ístex and made with the company’s Léttlopi yarn, the pattern combines traditional Icelandic design characteristics with a seamless, in-the-round construction.
The body and long sleeves are worked separately in the round from the lower edges to the underarms. They are then joined before the circular yoke is completed in the round. The design is presented in two color versions—brown and green—with specific Léttlopi shades listed for each version.
