Védís Jónsdóttir’s children’s round-yoke sweater from Ístex’s Lopi 27, knitted in the round from the bottom up with two strands of Plötulopi held together: a plain body and sleeves with K1, P1 rib, a yoke of small diamond and flower shapes from one two-colour chart, and a single ribbed neckband. The pattern has two colour versions with the same amounts — blue, winter blue with a white and blue yoke, and purple, hyacinth with the yoke patterned in midnight blue — in four sizes, chest 80 to 97 cm.

The body is cast on with 112 (120, 128, 136) stitches in A on the 4.5 mm circular and knitted in the round: 5 cm of K1, P1 rib, then stocking stitch on 5.5 mm, with no shaping, to 33 (35, 38, 40) cm. The sleeves are cast on with 30 (32, 32, 34) stitches on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, ribbed for 5 cm, then knitted on 5.5 mm and increased 8 (8, 9, 9) times to 46 (48, 50, 52) stitches. Body and sleeves are joined on the 5.5 mm circular — 176 (184, 192, 200) stitches, with 7 (8, 9, 10) stitches at each underarm left on holders — and the round yoke is knitted from a 38-round, two-colour chart with five decrease rounds, down to 66 (69, 72, 75) stitches; the three smaller sizes skip a few marked rounds. The neckband is knitted on 4.5 mm: one round in B with 10 (11, 12, 13) decreases, down to 56 (58, 60, 62) stitches, two rounds of K1, P1 rib in B, then rib in A until it measures 3 cm, bound off loosely in rib. It is single, not folded.
