For 13 years I had the cat brothers Tígul og Keikó, amazing cats! These 2 pullover I have knitted from the new Fjallalopi from Istex, will get the name of the brothers. The second pullover will be patterned all the way down, and will get the name Tígull, this one is Keikó. I´m so happy to give my patterns the names of those great cats. On both pullovers the pattern is very similar but the increasing is slightly different. In Tigull there will be a possibility to use more Contrast Colours but I just used 1 Contrast Colour in Keikó.
