My Lopi
This beautifully designed sweater combines classic Nordic motifs and construction techniques with a contemporary, flattering silhouette. The unique yoke features both graphic elements and subtle sophistication, creating a charming visual appeal. One of the standout features of this sweater is its seamless construction - once you bind off, you're completely finished! This delightful piece is worked top-down in the round, allowing you to try it on as you go to ensure a perfect fit tailored to your preferences.
YARN: For this project, I highly recommend using Istex Lettlopi or Plotulopi yarns. Both are lightweight, warm, and durable, making them ideal for stranded colorwork. If you're looking for a softer touch, any wool yarn that matches the gauge will work beautifully as a substitute. This versatility lets you customize your knitting experience, whether you prioritize warmth or softness!
YARN REQUIREMENTS: MC: 725(800, 875, 1000), (1150, 1250, 1350) yards; CC: 95(125, 140, 155), (170, 185, 200) yards. Be sure to gauge swatch to ensure the best results!
The sample shown features the stunning color combination of Ocean Blue, 9419 (MC) and Ash Heather, 0054 (CC), perfectly exemplifying how this pattern can bring your own color choices to life. Dive into your knitting journey and enjoy creating this classic yet modern sweater that’s sure to be a wardrobe staple for seasons to come!
