How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up; the body narrows towards the chest. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, knitted from a 33-round chart with four decrease rounds. The neckband is worked back and forth, leaving a small opening that closes with a button and loop. The underarm stitches are grafted. In the green version the hem, cuffs and neckband are moss stitch and the body is plain stocking stitch.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 29 (no. 3), Ístex.
