Leo

This pattern is a part of my Zodiac series where I designed each Zodiac sign in a traditional Icelandic Wool sweater style.
This pattern is inspired by the zodiac sign Leo.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.

Gauge
10x10cm = 18 sts and 26 rows on 5mm needles.

Circular needles: 4mm and 5mm, 40 and 60/80 cm (depending on your size)

Double-pointed needles: 4mm and 5mm

NOTE: I knit quite tightly so you may need to use 4,5mm or even 4mm I recommend knitting a swatch to test the tension.

This pattern has slim fit and a shorter body length, if you prefer a wider fit you should consider sizing up and/or adding a few cm in the body.
