Last week, I finished a new lopapeysa (Islandpulli) for Freyr. I´ve knitted this yoke pattern from the book Lopi 2 several times, but never in this version with buttons half way down and a hood. Freyr loves hooded sweaters and because of that, his new, thick lopapeysa had to have a hood... since I wasn´t in the mood for making a zippered sweater, I decided to give this version a try - it was a lot of fun, I learned a lot on the way and I really like the way it turned out. The best thing is the fitting of the hood- it´s tight and comfy at the same time... and the high ribbing in the neck-area is perfect for a boy like Freyr, who loves to wear lopi.yarn: lopi
needles: 4,5 and 6
Pattern: from Lopi 2
buttons: from my mothers treasure-chest...
love, love, love the hood...
... like the colours too...
From above:
sæti strákur í fallegri nýrri lopapeysu :) kveðja Lóa
ReplyDeleteTakk elsku Lóa mín!
ReplyDeleteThose traditional Icelandic sweathers are really nice, I love the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteYour son's sweater is beautiful, and it looks great with the hood. Love the colours, and the buttons too, they are just perfect for the sweater :)
Great work!!
Algerlega gordjöss ;) Það eina sem skyggir á peysuna er sú staðreynd að þetta barn er svooooo fallegt!
ReplyDeleteÞú verður næstum að sýna þetta bara á gínu þannig að peysa sjáist bara ;) hohoho
*knús til þín snillingur
Hi again Kristin :) Just want you to know that I have given you a Versatile blogger award. You find it on my blog.
ReplyDelete(It is entirely up to you if you want to accept the award or not).
Hope you are having a lovely day :)
Those lopapeysa sweaters are so beautiful! I love your creation - including the little guy modeling!:-)He looks so snuggly and warm. I like the snugger hood. I never have been able to see the value of a hood, especially for a child, if it's loose and floppy.I just can't get over the beautiful sweaters you Icelandics knit. Great job!
ReplyDeletePeysan er bara ÓTRÚLEGA flott og tölurnar eru frábærar! Ég hefði aldrei ímyndað mér að prjóna peysu sem var ekki opin alla leið niður. Þetta er rosalega smart hjá þér elsku K mín.
ReplyDeleteOg hann Freyr er svo mikið krúúúútt! Ef ég væri hann þá væri ég líka mjög ánægður með að eiga svona flotta peysu, hehe.
Litirnir fer honum svo vel :)
æ takk fyrir elsku Soffía mín! :-)
ReplyDeleteHilde: Thanks again... I will write something about this on my blog, as soon as my two little get better!
Judi A.: thank you SO MUCH! I really love your comment on my son... I always tell my sons exactly the same thing, that is, that they are the most beautiful thing I have ever created ;-) A hood can be really practical if you have a good pattern or really useless if it´s a bad one. I´ve had both...
Rodrigo: takk elsku Rodrigo minn, þú ert algjört yndi!! Einhvernveginn fara allir litir þessum drengjum vel - það er örugglega bara húðliturinn...
