A very handsome, regular design from Jonsdottir, that looks beautiful in any colour configuration (the Lopi folk want you to play!). The graphic looks regal to us-- the yoke reminds us of crown points, and we love the way it's reflected at the hem and cuffs. Traditionally worked in the circular bottom-up-join-at-the-yoke manner. The pattern engagingly refers to the 'lice' body graphic-- they really do mean lice! Note that you are meant to use one strand from each of two wheels of Plotlopi to get this gauge on 5.5mm needles. Traditional Lopi should work too, but you must make a swatch and be sure to match the suggested gauge here using whatever needle size you need to do so.

This is a design from Lopi Book 28.
