I´ve been wanting to make the hexagon-sweater from the book "Þóra heklbók" by Tinna Þórudóttir Þorvaldsdóttir for a while and since I was going to become an aunt for the second time this winter, I started working on it a couple of months before the little one was born.
It was really fun, exciting and surprising making this one. The interesting thing about this sweater is, that it is made out of 2 hexagons.
I used wonderful, soft, warm and practical Yaku superwash merino wool by Strikkebogen (bought in "Litla Prjónabúðin") and hook nr. 3,5. My sister told me she wanted happy colors for her baby and that´s why I went for this strong/intensive color-combo.
I had fun making it and I really like the outcome - I´d love to try making this one, using léttlopi...

ReplyDeleteWe have been having a heat wave here this week . I cranked up the air conditioning in the front room and pretended it was winter while I crocheted three scarfs for the holidays . :)
Thank you Willow! :-) I wish we had to PRETEND it was winter over here... it has been raining all summer here in Iceland. But the good thing about rain is, that it´s the perfect weather for knitting and crochet!
DeleteIt's lovely! I love the cheerful colours, and I'm sure your sister will too. That's a very clever design!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Linda. I´m happy to say that she really liked it :-)
DeleteHún er algjört æði hjá þér, mjög fersk litasamsetning ;)
