The original design is by Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir; Védís Jónsdóttir redesigned it for Lopi 34.

The sleeves start with 5 (7, 7) rounds of moss stitch on 5 mm double-pointed needles and are increased at the underarm. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, 145 (157, 169) stitches, and the 34-round chart — two rounds of oxblood and black, then two rows of flowers on black, with decreases in five rounds — takes it to 51 (55, 59); the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The two steek stitches are bound off and the collar is knitted back and forth in black on 5 mm: 6 rows of moss stitch, a purl row and 6 rows of stocking stitch, folded to the inside and slip-stitched down. The steek is machine-sewn twice through each purl column and cut between them, the zipper is sewn in under the front edges, and the underarms are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOriginal design: Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir.
