How it is knitted
Knitted in one piece from wrist to wrist. The first sleeve starts at the cuff with a rolled edge and rib on 3.5 mm, then a 30-round colour chart on 4.5 mm, increasing up the arm; at the underarm the work turns into a stocking-stitch back panel knitted back and forth for 70 cm; then the second sleeve is knitted in the round from the shoulder down, decreasing to the cuff. Because the second sleeve is knitted top-down, its cuff pattern is not an exact mirror of the first — the pattern says so.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 43 (no. 18), Ístex.
