Gerdur Icelandic Sweater, No 1 knitting kit

Knitting Kit for Ger∂ur Islandsk Sweater in Önling No 1

"Ger∂ur" is an Icelandic-inspired sweater with a pretty feminine pattern, inspired by flowers, decorative fair-isle details and a slightly oversize design.

Katrine loves to find her inspiration in nature. Flowers and green plants are essential elements in her life, and this shows everywhere in her private home. The pattern on this Icelandic sweater is Katrine’s interpretation of flowers. The yarn used for this design is Önling’s own No 1, which is perfectly suited for Fair-Isle patterns, as well as wonderfully soft and pleasant to wear.

The kit contains: Yarn for the selected size and color and a digital pattern.

The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page. You will also receive an e-mail with a link to your pattern, and the pattern will be available here at the site via your personal account - so remember to create an account :-) Read more about digital knitting patterns here.
