The sleeves start with 7 cm of K2, P2 rib, gain 15 (15, 17) stitches on the first round on 4 mm and are then increased under the arm; they have no colour border. After body and sleeves are joined, raglan-style decreases come first — k2tog and k2tog tbl either side of the four joins on every other round, 3 to 5 times depending on size and version — and then the 51-round yoke chart: the anchors, then the zigzag bands, decreased in six rounds; the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The neckline is K1, P1 rib on 3 mm — 3 cm on the pullover, 3 rounds on the cardigan — bound off very loosely. The cardigan’s hem rib is knitted back and forth with a purl stitch at each edge; the body is then joined in the round and those 2 purl stitches run up the centre front to the neck. They are machine-sewn twice and cut between the rows of stitching, and K2, P2 bands of 6 rows are picked up along the fronts; the buttonhole band has 7 (8, 8) buttonholes of a yarn-over and k2tog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 30 (no. 21), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601517543477,"sku":"PAT-EN-ANKERI","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/L30_21_Ankeri_3_41782f37-65aa-467d-8139-d23080d8d423.jpg?v=1791020201","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/ankeri-anchor-yoke-sweater-and-cardigan-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
