Overview
What's in the kit
Bogi — a boy’s name, and the Icelandic word for a bow. A white Léttlopi sweater for little ones with a yoke and bands in black sheep heather and murky, and a button at the left shoulder so it slips easily over the head. The original pattern is from Gefjun; Védís Jónsdóttir redesigned it for Ístex’s Lopi 34.

How it is knitted
Body and sleeves start with a moss-stitch edge in black sheep on 3.5 mm needles, then a band from chart 1 above the hem and cuffs, and continue in white stocking stitch on 4.5 mm to the underarms. They are joined and the yoke is knitted in the round from chart 2 with decreases, from 160–190 stitches down to 64–76. The neckband is moss stitch in black sheep, worked back and forth from the middle of the left shoulder so it opens there; a crocheted loop and a button close it.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 34 (no. 19), Ístex.
