{"product_id":"asa-childrens-hooded-heart-cardigan-knitting-pattern","title":"Ása — Children’s Hooded Heart Cardigan Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eÁsa is Védís Jónsdóttir’s hooded children’s cardigan from Ístex’s Lopi 26, knitted in Léttlopi: covered from hem to neck in rows of small chevrons, crosses and motifs in eight colours, with big pink-and-red hearts above the hem, on the cuffs and round the yoke, moss-stitch edges and a hood. Body and sleeves are knitted in the round, the front is cut open, and it closes with 7 small buttons. The pattern has two versions with the same motif colours, in sizes 6 to 10 years: white, with a white hood, and burgundy — a dark wine ground with a lilac hood. Lilac (1413), light red (1408), orange (1410) and sun yellow (1411) are no longer made, nor is dark wine (9417); the white ground and the other four motif colours still are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo colour versions — white and burgundy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes 6, 8 and 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree charts — body, sleeve and yoke — with one colour key for both versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

On 4.5 mm, 2 purl stitches are cast on at the front for the steek, and the body is joined and knitted in the round from chart 1 — big hearts above the hem, then rows of small chevrons, crosses and motifs in eight colours. Sizes 6 and 8 leave out the marked parts of the charts. The sleeves start with 5 rounds of moss stitch on 3.5 mm double-pointed needles and are knitted from chart 2, with 2 stitches increased every 8th round. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke: a 39-round chart with a row of big hearts and smaller motifs, with six decrease rounds worked in the chart. The front is machine-sewn, the moss-stitch bands are knitted from the held stitches with a 3-stitch facing, and then the front is cut open and the bands sewn on, so the facing covers the cut edge. A moss-stitch neckband follows, then the hood — white for the white version, lilac for the burgundy one — knitted back and forth and grafted at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 26 (no. 1), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601269522485,"sku":"PAT-EN-ASA","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi26-asa-cover-1_52f8e2ba-8f17-4b02-a3ac-21a4cd3decb5.jpg?v=1791006043","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/asa-childrens-hooded-heart-cardigan-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
