Mistur

Mistur pattern is a traditional Icelandic Wool sweater style or lopapeysa as we call them in Icelandic. It’s a quick and simple knit.

Mistur sweater is knitted from the bottom up in the round, if you are used to knitting top down, the pattern is easy to follow the other way around if you prefer.

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

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

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.

Note that if you need to knit a bigger width than the pattern offers, please contact me and I’ll help you calculate the width you need.
