Description ~ Iceland upside down

Traditionally the Icelandic patterned yoke sweaters are knit bottom up - but Ragga has developed top down knitting techniques for this popular symbol of the Icelandic knitting heritage. Participants will knit a tiny Lopi sweater containing all the elements and techniques needed to invert any pre existing bottom up pattern to a top down one.
