DESIGN: BJÖRG PJETURSDÓTTIR

COLOURING BOOK
Included in this pattern is a colouring book for the design BP 02 RENDUR. Children can visualise their wishes for the look of their BP 02 sweater. The colouring book allows the knitters, the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.

METHOD
The sweater is worked top-down in the round. The neckline and yoke are worked from the wrong side, the work is then turned inside out, and sleeves and body are worked from the right side. Increases are made evenly across the yoke and become a pattern. The neckline and sleeve cuffs are ribbed, as is the hem of the sweater. A loose cast on is necessary to avoid the neckline being too tight.

I have admired Björg Pjetursdóttir’s project RENDUR for a long time. She designed a series of patterns with the purpose to make use of leftover yarns.

I became captivated by these handmade, colourful garments, and in 2016 the dream of presenting Björgs patterns in einrúm yarn came true for me. We began working on the project of implementing and adjusting the patterns to the einrúm yarn and giving a hint on how one might use leftover yarn.
