About Tjald
Tjaldur is a children’s sweater with a patterned yoke, knitted in the round from the bottom up using pure Icelandic virgin wool from Gilhaga (Ær). The sweater in the pattern is brown and uses three colors: one main color and two pattern colors.
The sweater can also be knitted using single-strand unspun lopi on 4.5 mm needles. If using unspun lopi, the sweater will be smaller as the gauge is 19 stitches per 10 cm instead of 17 stitches with the Gilhaga yarn. It is therefore recommended to go up one size if knitting with unspun lopi.
