The yoke and the lower sleeves have bands of purl ridges and long stitches, made by wrapping the yarn round the needle once, twice or three times and dropping the wraps on the next round. The body starts with a garter-stitch hem and is a little wider at the hem than at the chest; the neck and cuff edges are Einband stocking stitch, left to roll. Two colour versions — black, and violet with purple Einband — in sizes XS to XL. All four colours are still made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo colour versions — black, and violet with purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes XS, S, M, L and XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe yoke chart, with a key; the sleeve bands are also written out round by round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The sleeves start with 14 rounds of Einband in stocking stitch on double-pointed needles, then a Léttlopi band of ridges and long stitches, 6 rounds of Einband and the same band again; they go on in plain Léttlopi, increased under the arm. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, a 36-round chart with three decrease rounds, from 190 (200, 210, 220, 230) stitches to 76 (80, 84, 88, 92): the same band of ridges and long stitches, a band of Einband, a smaller band of ridges and long stitches, and Einband to the neck; the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The neckband is 5 rounds of K1, P1 rib in Léttlopi on 4.5 mm and 6 rounds of Einband stocking stitch on 6.5 mm, bound off loosely and left to roll. Last, the ends of the garter-stitch hem are sewn together and the underarm stitches grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 29 (no. 6), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601874649141,"sku":"PAT-EN-BYLGJA-L29","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/L29_06_Bylgja_1-585x798_41e27d28-e691-4e40-8020-0734ff1aee60.jpg?v=1791020020","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/bylgja-lopi-29-yoke-sweater-with-see-through-einband-bands-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
