Knitting and teaching pro Kim Hays guides you through the Dreyma sweater - a fun, stranded, colorwork sweater project. Knit with Lettlopi yarn, this pattern by Jennifer Steingass is a great pattern for knitters wanting to learn or practice more color stranding and other essential sweater techniques. Lopi, the classic and affordable wool from Iceland, is a very forgiving yarn which makes it excellent for stranded colorwork. This sweater is worked from the top down, and is knit seamlessly in the round.
