Ærø Icelandic Sweater

Is actually designed for men, but of course it can be worn by everyone like a traditional Nordic sweater.
The organic pattern on the yoke came to me as I was walking along the beach on the beautiful Vester Strand on Ærø, a small Danish island.
The beautifully rounded stones at the edge of the water caught my eye, and I have recreated them in stitches on the yoke.
I wish you happy knitting and hope that you will be happy with your very own Ærø Icelandic Sweater
