Stopover

Introducing the modern Icelandic-style lopapeysa design, "Stopover," expertly crafted at a loose gauge for an effortlessly lightweight and stylish garment. Inspired by my memorable week-long Stopover in the enchanting landscapes of Iceland, this pattern captures the essence of Icelandic knitting traditions while embracing contemporary aesthetics.

Pattern Available in English and French! With your purchase, you'll receive both language options, allowing you to choose your preferred version for download with ease.

Yarn Selection: Our "Stopover" sweater is shown in Ístex Létt Lopi, a luxurious 100% Icelandic wool yarn that boasts 109 yards (100 meters) per 50-gram skein. This airy, lightweight yarn is perfect for creating a cozy yet breathable garment. While I have a personal preference for the light texture of Icelandic wool, you can also use other springy Aran weight wools or high-quality wool blend yarns. For your convenience, recommended substitutes are listed below.

Included with the pattern is an extensive sizing table and schematic to ensure the perfect fit for everyone. You can choose between cropped sleeves as shown or opt for the traditional long sleeves, catering to your style preferences.

For reference, the stunning green version is modeled in size Small on Morgan, who typically wears a size 4. The charming blue version is modeled by my friend Sandy, crafted in XL for a stylish look. Here, the sleeves are playfully scrunched up, and extra fabric is pushed back with her arms to showcase this versatile colorway without compromising fit.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, our "Stopover" pattern will provide you with an enjoyable and fulfilling project. Elevate your knitwear collection with this beautiful Icelandic-inspired design that blends tradition and modernity seamlessly.
