The name of the sweater is Tindur and it means „Peak“. The sweater is knitted top down, which means you start by casting on at the neck. The classic lopapeysa (Icelandic sweater) pattern covers the entire yoke. The fit of the sweater is relatively loose. When selecting the size to knit, it is best to measure the person you are knitting for before choosing the size. Choose the size based on the given chest measurement; the chest measurement given refers to the width of the sweater itself, not the individual. You can choose any chest measurement and lengthen or shorten the sleeves and body as the knitter prefers.
