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!

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

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.

Ef ég nenni pattern will be available in kids sizes for next Christmas.
