Simple but lovely sweater in thin wool yarn, like the swedish 1-ply Färgkraft or the Icelandic Loðband.

I´m sure you all know Emil from the children’s novels by Astrid Lindgren. Emil is a prankster who lives on a farm called Katthult, in Småland, Sweden. He has got fair hair and blue eyes and looks like an angel, but is not, as he also has a prodigious knack for getting into trouble.
This sweater (and its owner!) reminds me very much of this Emil…:-)

This pattern is included in the book Prjónaperlur, which is available in English as “Iceland Knits”.
Happy knitting!
