Stor Stormur

Stormur means storm in Icelandic.

Stor Stormur is the big sibling of the Stormur pullover, drawing inspiration from traditional Icelandic motifs. Can you imagine a fleet of Viking ships braving a stormy sea?

This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, with short rows creating a higher back neckline for added comfort and fit.*
