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 and cut open. The moss-stitch bands are knitted from the held stitches with a 3-stitch facing that covers the cut edge, and sewn on. A moss-stitch neckband follows, then the white hood, 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":"Without needles","offer_id":67600979656757,"sku":"KIT-EN-ASA-WHITE","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600989159477,"sku":"KIT-EN-ASA-WHITE-NDL","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi26-asa-cover-1_5bc3d729-fe4e-44da-a9f7-60ffcab8d16d.jpg?v=1790996715","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/asa-white-childrens-hooded-heart-cardigan-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
