Frostrós
Frostrós (jääkukka) on kevyt ja pehmeä mekko, johon on ihana kietoutua viilenevässä säässä. Mallimekko on utuisen vaalea, mutta yhtä hyvin siihen sopii tummat ja voimakkaat sävyt.
Unelmakevyt, mutta lämmin mekko on neulottu kaksinkertaisesta Istex Pöltulopista, jonka voit korvata halutessasi myös kaksinkertaisella Letlopilla tai Alafosslopilla, kunhan vain muistat säätää käsialan mallitiheyden mukaiseksi.
Lankamenekit löytyvät kuvasta.
ENGLISH
Frostrós (means ice flower) is a soft and warm dress which is super comfy to wear in chilly weather. The model is very feminine and very light if made of double Plötulopi.
The pattern works well with light and softer tones just as it does with dark and more contrasting tones.
The yarn used is in the picture is double Plötulopi, but you can use double Lettlopi or Alafosslopi instead just as well. Just be sure to adjust the gauge accordingly.
Frostrós dress is quick to knit. As with many Icelandic garments, the sleeves are knitted first, followed by the body, and the yoke comes last, combining everything into a completed garment. The front and back of the dress are the same, so it can be worn either way. You will have no trouble knitting with this pattern!
The wool of Icelandic sheep has adapted to the harsh conditions of the northern island country and is characterized by its ability to withstand wind and moisture. In Iceland, garments made of this wool are used both indoors and outdoors, depending on their thickness. Wearing the Icelandic dress, you can go out in temperatures below zero just as easily as in a drizzle, especially once you have made the fabric ”bloom” with finishing touches and wear.
The best Finnish alternative to Icelandic wool is perhaps the wool of Åland sheep. If the wool’s properties in outdoor activities are not essential to your dress, you can replace the wool of Icelandic sheep with any local alternative you like. Always ensure your gauge matches the pattern by knitting a swatch.
Wishing you enjoyable knitting,
