Speckled stripe blocks — navy and garnet red Léttlopi knitted together — cross the back yoke and sit at different heights on the two fronts, and the high folded collar is navy with a red line. The pattern’s sapphire blue heather (9968, printed “saphire blue”) is no longer made; this kit has 1233 space blue in its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi and Léttlopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÁlafosslopi — 100 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes S (M L)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 1233 Space Blue (in place of 9968 sapphire blue heather) — 4 (4 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLéttlopi — 50 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes S (M L)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 9420 Navy Blue — 2 (2 2)\u003cbr\u003e\nC 1409 Garnet Red — 1 (2 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e104 cm\u003cbr\u003e41″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e109 cm\u003cbr\u003e43″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 cm\u003cbr\u003e45¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 cm\u003cbr\u003e23½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62 cm\u003cbr\u003e24½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 cm\u003cbr\u003e25¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13 sts × 18 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 6 mm needles (Álafosslopi).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles used in the pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e (included when you choose the kit with needles)\u003cbr\u003e6 mm (US 10) and 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles, 80 cm\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle, 40 cm, for the armhole edges — the pattern also allows double-pointed needles; the kit with needles has the 40 cm circular\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn open-ended (separating) zip of 55–60 cm, sewing thread to sew it in, and 2 stitch holders for the front neck stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe back and the two fronts are knitted flat in stocking stitch on 6 mm needles from charts, each starting with a single purl ridge — there is no rib at the hem. Stripe blocks run across the back yoke and, at different heights, across the two fronts. In these rows the blue is stranded with navy and garnet red Léttlopi held together as one strand, which gives a speckled navy-and-red stitch. After the seams are sewn, narrow garter bands in navy Léttlopi are picked up along the fronts. The collar is K1, P1 rib — 6 cm in the blue, 5 cm in navy and 2 rows in red — folded in half to the outside and sewn down stitch by stitch, so it shows navy with a red line at its base. The armholes get a round of navy rib and a last round of red. The zip is sewn in by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 10), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600485580853,"sku":"KIT-EN-BODI","price":89.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600505602101,"sku":"KIT-EN-BODI-NDL","price":127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi25-bodi-1_215b8b73-614d-4c51-b7b0-13095118a587.jpg?v=1790982192","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/bodi-mens-zip-vest-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
