Let me introduce you to the Canadian knitter Lisa Charbonneau, aka BubblegirlKnits on Ravelry, who made this stunning oversized Irpa in John Arbon Textiles, Knit by Numbers DK in size M using the recommended needle size 3.5 mm/US 4. The model is her daughter and Lisa is also a designer with patterns for sale on Ravelry.

On her page Lisa writes a number of fun facts such as: “I’m a monogamous knitter, otherwise I’d never finish anything”. That might be why she finished making in this in less than one month. Irpa looks stunning on her daughter!

Here are details of the front, so that you can study the button band and the cable. Thank you so much for these gorgeous photos, Lisa!

I have graded the pattern in sizes S to 2XL with a bust circumference of 110 to 154 cm/43.25 to 60.75 inches. Here is my introduction to the pattern: Irpa is Norse for dark brown and suited this long oversized cardigan with a v-neck and a slight shaping for waist. Pine cable cover the center back, while only one pattern repeat adorns the fronts and sleeve. A wide rib makes this casual jacket a perfect extra layer to the Sigyn dress.

The pattern is available in English and Norwegian on Ravelry and LoveCrafts, while yarn kits with the original sample yarn Tinde pelsullgarn can be bought directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.
