Westfjords

Discover the stunning beauty of the Westfjords of Iceland with our exquisite Westfjords jumper knitting pattern. This rugged and visually captivating region inspires a unique design that’s perfect for your adventurous spirit, whether you’re exploring icy landscapes or cozying up indoors. Crafted from the top down and in the round, this jumper features a beautiful circular yoke and utilizes the stranded colourwork technique to create intricate patterns.

The pattern includes charted motifs for the yoke, body, and sleeves, making it essential for knitters to have a familiarity with charts. Skills in using multiple repeats within a chart and extending patterning will be beneficial for this project. This jumper is designed with versatility in mind, so you can customize it to suit your personal style.

To start, stitches are cast on, and a ribbed section is worked before transitioning into the yoke. After the yoke is complete, sleeve stitches are separated from the body, allowing for each component to be worked individually. The majority of the jumper is knitted in stockinette stitch (st st), unless otherwise noted in the pattern instructions.

This garment is intentionally designed to be worn with a bit of positive ease, as Lettlopi yarn is not generally worn directly against bare skin. You’re encouraged to make adjustments to ensure the best possible fit for your unique body shape. For your convenience, a schematic is provided, detailing all approximate finished sizes to assist you in selecting the perfect dimensions.
