LOFOTEN Fish Icelandic Sweater

**LOFOTEN Lopapeysa Knitting Pattern** Craft a stunning **Lopapeysa** inspired by the iconic styles of Iceland but named after the enchanting **Lofoten Islands** of Norway, renowned worldwide for their exquisite codfish. This beautifully designed sweater features a traditional yoke construction, where the body and sleeves are knitted in the round, starting from the lower edge up to the underarms. Once at the underarms, the body and sleeves unite to create the yoke, knitting seamlessly in the round. To begin your knitting adventure, note that the round starts at the left side of the body, while the yoke's round begins on the left side of the back, precisely where the body and sleeves join. For an enjoyable and efficient knitting experience, we highly recommend employing the ‘magic loop’ technique for the sleeves. This technique not only prevents bunching when working on intricate patterns but also saves you valuable time. Included in the pattern is a comprehensive **size table** featuring basic measurements and calculations, allowing you to tailor your sweater to your preferred fit. This versatile table is designed to facilitate your knitting journey for any **lopapeysa** you choose to create. All measurements are provided in both **US** and **metric** units to accommodate every knitter. **YARN:** The ample selection of colors available in **Lettlopi by Istex** includes 0052 Black Sheep, 1417 Frostbite, 9426 Golden, 9427 Rust, 1704 Apricot, 1416 Moor, 1700 Air Blue, and 9418 Stone Blue—perfect for bringing this design to life. **GAUGE:** Achieve a consistent gauge of 10 cm × 10 cm, translating to 18 stitches and 23 rows.
