Original design by: Védís Jónsdóttir

Kilir (“Spines”) is a thoughtful color‑blocked pullover. The body is worked in the round to the underarms, then front and back are completed flat. Sleeves use a clever method to work intarsia back‑and‑forth inside the round, linking strands to avoid holes when switching colors. A tall ribbed neckband is picked up and folded inward to finish.

Construction

Work the body in the round from hem to underarms; then work front and back flat, following intarsia color placement. For sleeves, use the “linking” methods described to work back‑and‑forth within the round so stripes remain crisp without holes. Sew sleeves to armholes. Pick up and knit the neckband, fold it inward, and secure. Add the optional embroidery in color E at stripe joins.
