Icelandic sweaters from Önling

About

Knitting patterns and yarn for Icelandic sweaters A classic Icelandic sweater is typically characterized by the beautiful yoke, knitted with a fine pattern in many small geometrical shapes and colors. Originally, the Icelandic sweater was knitted in earth tones, which were plant-colored, and were worn by both women and men. Colors and patterns are therefore often gender neutral and suit both women and men. Icelandic sweaters with a feminine touch At Önling, we have designed a wide range of Icelandic-inspired sweaters, and we often aim for a more feminine look than what the Icelandic sweater is traditionally known for. This is typically enhanced by fit, detail and our choice of colour scheme. Typically, an Icelandic sweater at Önling is a monochrome sweater with a patterned, multi-colored yoke. Bjørk sweater , Draka sweater and Isling sweater are all good examples of reinterpretations of the Icelandic knitting tradition. In addition, Alva Cardigan , which is a beautiful, long cardigan with Icelandic inspired patterns with purl stitches to provide structure. We have also designed a couple of knitting designs based on the Faroese knitting tradition, where the pattern is typically distributed throughout the sweater. However, our interpretation typically results in more modern designs, where we give the classic pattern a new twist. Gudrun sweater is a great example of a Faroese inspired sweater, which has gotten a slightly boxy fit and deep sleeve holes, to give the sweater a modern look. In addition, we can mention Sirid sweater , which is designed in beautiful deep Nordic colors, which reflect the sea and mountains of the Faroe Islands.
