Breida

Designed by Kirsten-Michele

Breida is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a folded ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke features stranded colorwork in a Faroese pattern with increases for a comfortable fit. The colorwork pattern continues through the rest of the garment as background colours fade into one another. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape achieved by changing needle sizes.
