WOODLAND GATE

Woodland Gate

The iron fences and latticework on the hem and yoke of the Woodland Gate Icelandic knit dress act as a gateway directly into the world of the forest spirit itself. The graceful dress has the enchanting femininity of a strong and powerful woman and is perfect for parties with heels or chilling out with good friends.

The wool of Icelandic sheep has evolved to withstand the harsh conditions of the northern island nation and is characterized by good wind and moisture resistance. In Iceland, clothing made from this wool is used as both inner and outerwear, depending on the thickness.

You can wear an Icelandic knitwear outdoors even in mild frosts or light rain, especially when the surface of the garment has become fluffed up through post-treatment and use. Thanks to its fit, it also fits well under outerwear.

MATERIALS, SIZES AND ACCESSORIES

Ístex Léttlopi yarn and 4.5 mm double pointed needles + 80 cm circular needles. More detailed materials can be found in the accompanying pictures.

Note. The pattern has a density of 20 sts per 10 cm, which is slightly more than the general Lettlop density, meaning it is a little tighter. Be careful with the handwork to get the same density, because with a looser handwork all the measurements will increase, especially the height of the yoke. When made according to the pattern, the dress will be exactly as measured, but with a looser handwork the fit can be anything.
