Slóðir

Slóðir means Trails in Icelandic.The warmth of a bear and deer trail in the forest, or was it just a sheep on the heathland
path? Walk with my dog on the shore under the cliffs. Our footprints follow the light tracks of the seabirds and the heavy
spoor of the raven before take-off.

Tips & Shortcuts

Yarn alternative: Please be aware that the gauge (tension), yarn quantity and the shape of the work varies if you use another yarn
(even in the same yarn group).
To avoid problems: Read entirely through the pattern before you begin.
Gauge (tension): Always knit/crochet a gauge swatch according to the recommendations. If you get a different gauge, try with a
smaller or larger needle size. If the gauge isn't correct the work may be a different shape and size.
To make it easier to follow the instructions, use a colored pencil or highlighter to mark your size.
Chart: To make it easier to follow the chart, use a ruler under the on-going row.
Tips för hand dyed yarn: Make sure you have enough yarn to complete your project. The colors may vary from time to time. To get
a smooth color mix, you can alternate between two skeins: knit two rows from one and two rows from another skein.
