Lopi Riddari Sweater

A timeless Icelandic yoke sweater featuring bold stranded colour-work, designed for warmth, durability, and classic Nordic style.

The Riddari sweater, designed by Védís Jónsdóttir, is a long-standing favourite for knitters seeking a true Nordic classic. Available in two colour options — green and brown — it is worked in Léttlopi by Lopi, a yarn celebrated for its warmth, lightness, and rustic character. 

The body and sleeves are worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarms, then joined to form the yoke, which is also worked in the round.
