“Borg mín borg,” meaning “My city, my city” in Icelandic, is the name of this cardigan design. It comes in two color options: black and grey, or brown and green, both crafted from Léttlopi, a traditional Icelandic yarn.

Body and sleeves are worked in the round from lower edge to underarms, then joined to work the yoke in the round. Round begins and ends with a purled st for the steek at front of body. Use a sewing machine to sew over the purl sts in the front middle before cutting the front opening. Take care to knit the houses in the pattern dominant.
