UHU Eagle-Owl Icelandic Lopapeysa Sweater

Introducing the UHU Lopapeysa, a stunning design that embraces the rich tradition of Icelandic knitting. This beautiful sweater features a unique construction where both the body and sleeves are expertly worked in the round from the lower edge up to the underarms. After reaching this point, the body and sleeves are seamlessly joined to create the yoke, which is seamlessly knitted in the round. The round begins on the left side of the body for a streamlined process, while the yoke round starts at the left side of the back where the body and sleeve meet.

For those working on the sleeves, we highly recommend using the ‘magic loop’ technique. This method not only prevents any bunching up when enlarging your work and managing the intricate pattern but also saves you valuable knitting time. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the UHU Lopapeysa offers an excellent opportunity to dive into the beautiful world of Icelandic knitting. Enjoy the satisfaction of creating a cozy, stylish garment that celebrates both your craftsmanship and the artisan traditions of Iceland!
