Regnbogi

Regnbogi pattern is a very fast and fun knit. I’ve had this idea in mind for a long time but never found the colors I wanted. When I finally saw them in Einband I knew I had to get them and mix them with Léttlopi. I absolutely loved how my Regnbogi lopapeysa turned out. Regnbogi pattern would also be perfect for a scratch knit as you’ll never need more than 30 grams for each extra color.

Yarn: Léttlopi from Istex & Einband from Istex. If you don’t have access to either then choose a similar yarn that fits the gauge. I only used Einband because I couldn’t find the colors I wanted in any other yarn. So feel free to use the same yarn for the whole pattern.

Yarn: Istex Léttlopi – 50g skein – 100 m – Istex Einband – 50 gr – 250 m.

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 is unisex and 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.

Regnbogi sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round. The pattern is easy to follow backwards if you prefer a top down. I knitted this sweater top down. Feel free to contact me if you need any help making the switch to top down.
