Skaftafell Sweater - Easy seamless top down sweater knitting pattern

Skaftafell Sweater is a beginner-friendly pattern that combines classic stockinette stitch with eye-catching ribbed accents, reminiscent of the deep, icy crevasses of Iceland's Skaftafell glacier.

With its simple yet striking design, this top-down seamless pattern is perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike.
