Dreyma means dream in Icelandic. This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with the option of either a ribbed or rolled neckline. The stranded yoke is worked, short row shaping is added on the back of the sweater to shape the shoulders and neckline. The sleeves and body are separated and worked top down. Optional gentle waist shaping makes for a flattering, feminine fit.

This pattern is available in English.
