Squirrel Icelandic lopapeysa is a sweater knitting pattern featuring a forest motif on the Fair Isle yoke, inspired by traditional Icelandic knitting and my Selbu Hats Collection.
The pattern includes two adult versions: a long-sleeved sweater in sizes XS–5XL and a cropped version with short sleeves in sizes XS–2XL. Children’s sizes are also available.
The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up. The PDF includes written instructions in English, charts, photos and a size chart. Available for immediate download, with pattern support by email.
The matching Squirrel Hat knitting pattern is available separately.
Prefer both patterns together? Get the Squirrel Duo set, which includes the sweater and the hat.
