The body is cast on with 96 (108, 120) stitches in garden green on the 5 mm circular and knitted in K1, P1 rib for 4 (5, 5) cm, then in stocking stitch on 6 mm to 27 (32, 37) cm. The sleeves start with the same rib on 5 mm double-pointed needles and are increased at the underarm. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, 144 (156, 168) stitches, and the 34-round chart — two rounds of green and light ash, then two rows of motifs on light ash, with decreases in five rounds — takes it to 48 (52, 56); the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The collar is 8 cm of K1, P1 rib in light ash on 5 mm, bound off loosely in rib, folded in half to the inside and slip-stitched down; the underarm stitches are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOriginal design: Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir.
