Penguin Icelandic lopapeysa sweater pattern, featuring a penguin and snowflake motif in blue, black, white and yellow on its Fair isle style yoke, is inspired by Antarctic’s iconic bird.

Body and sleeves are worked in the round from lower edge to underarms, then joined to work yoke in the round. Round begins at left side of body. On yoke, round begins on the left side of back at the joining of body and sleeve. For knitting the sleeves, I recommend using the ‘magic loop’ technique, which helps you to avoid bunching up when enlarging and working on pattern, and also saves your time.

In the pattern you will find a table of sizes, basic measurements and calculations. This will make it easier for you to guide yourself when working on your sweater. The table is versatile and can be used to work on any lopapeysa.

The pattern comes as a PDF with written instructions in English, charts and photos, available for immediate download after payment. Full pattern support is available by email.
