A handknit sweater body rib is on the needles on the left side of the frame. A handknit sleeve is on DPNs on the right side of the frame. Two skeins of yarn are top left. The left skein of yarn is blue and the right is grey. The body ribbing and the cuff are in two by two rib stitch with two rows of grey striping. A diamond pattern of grey on blue with a middle dot is done on the sleeve.

Updated progress on my Classic Icelander Men's sweater. The free pattern is unisex but there is also a dedicated female pattern with the same design titled Icelander. You can find links to these patterns and the Highland Wool in my Pinterest via my linktree.

A basket of yarn full of grey and blue skeins sits on a wooden surface. A sleeve cuff with blue and grey stripes sits below the basket. The cuff is still on DPNs.

When I read over the pattern for the sweater Classic Icelander, I realized the sleeve size ST count matched my swatch ST count, so... sleeve swatch it is!

You can follow my linktree to my Pinterest for links to the pattern and yarns.
