Ef ég nenni

Ef ég nenni pattern is my fourth Christmas pattern, which is a bit funny as I’m a bit of a grinch myself. That is why I thought it would be a bit funny to call this pattern the same as my one and only favourite Christmas song. The song is called Ef ég nenni which translates to if I feel like it. I knitted the prodo sweater to small for myself and didn’t feel like frogging to knit a bigger size, so I just had to use this name! Ef ég nenni pattern is also available in kids sizes.

Ef ég nenni sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round.
