Kerid Sweater for Kids

Kerid is a beautifully crafted Icelandic sweater for children, inspired by the stunning volcanic crater lake in Iceland. This unique design features a traditional Icelandic yoke, echoing the vivid reds of the crater slopes that contrast beautifully with the deep azure of the lake. It's the perfect piece to keep your little ones warm while celebrating the breathtaking beauty of Iceland's nature.

This delightful lopapeysa—the Icelandic term for “wool sweater”—is thoughtfully designed as a seamless, top-down garment that is knit in the round. The pattern comes complete with easy-to-follow colour charts for both the iconic yoke and the vibrant lower body colourwork section, ensuring a visually stunning finish. We understand that knitting can sometimes be daunting, which is why all relevant techniques are explained in thorough detail, with handy links to video tutorials to guide you through the process. No matter your skill level, whether you are a novice or a seasoned knitter, this pattern is created to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

As an added bonus, at the end of this pattern, you'll find a printable Kerid colouring page. This fun feature allows you to experiment with different colour combinations before you begin your knitting journey, making it a perfect activity for kids and adults alike. Unleash your creativity and design a sweater that's as unique as the beautiful landscapes of Iceland!
