How it is knitted
The sleeves are knitted in the round from 1×1 rib. The body is knitted back and forth from the lower edge, with two decreases at each side, up to the underarms; then the sleeves are joined and the yoke is knitted back and forth from a chart. The neckband is 1×1 rib in white, and the front bands are picked up and knitted in rib — golden yellow below the yoke and white at the yoke — with five buttonholes.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 43 (no. 7), Ístex.
