Good to know

Endurreisn — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Three sizes — S, M and L — with a chest of 93, 101 and 110 cm, 55 to 59 cm from the hem to the underarm and sleeves of 46 to 50 cm, all measured from the fold line of the hem. It is a long jacket, shaped at the waist: by our calculation about 96 (104) 113 cm round the hem and 83 (92) 100 cm at the waist.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for size L: 5 balls of black heather Álafosslopi (100 g) and 14 balls of Léttlopi (50 g) — 3 of light ash heather, 2 each of grey heather, stone blue heather, light beige heather, murky and frostbite, and 1 of oatmeal heather — 19 balls in all. S uses 3 balls of black heather and M 4; the Léttlopi is the same for every size. There are so many balls because every pattern colour is knitted two strands at a time, and each of the seven Léttlopi shades goes into several pairs. Expect some of most Léttlopi colours to be left over, more in the smaller sizes (our estimate). The pattern calls the Léttlopi colours grey, ash, stone blue, light beige, murky, frostbite and oatmeal.
How are the two yarns used?
The ground — with the outer half of the folded hems, the neckband and the crochet borders — is one strand of Álafosslopi. Most pattern colours are two strands of Léttlopi held together and knitted as one: the chart key gives each colour as a pair of codes, for example ash with grey (0054 + 0057), ash with stone blue (0054 + 9418) or murky with frostbite (1420 + 1417). Two strands of Léttlopi are about as thick as one of Álafosslopi (our note). The hem facings on the inside are a single strand of Léttlopi, which keeps the folded edges thin.
How are the hems made?
Each hem starts with 5 rows (on the sleeves 5 rounds) of stocking stitch in a single strand of Léttlopi — frostbite on the body and stone blue on the sleeves — then, in Álafosslopi, a knit row, a fold line (a knit row from the wrong side on the body, a purl round on the sleeves) and 5 more rows before the chart starts. At the end the hems are folded to the inside along the fold line and slip-stitched down. The neckband is finished the same way, with a grey facing.
Do I have to cut my knitting?
Yes. The body is knitted in the round with a purl stitch at the beginning and end of each round, at the centre front. At the end you sew twice through each chain of purl stitches by machine with small straight stitches and cut carefully between the sewn rows.
How are the front borders made?
With a 6 mm crochet hook and the ground colour: 2 rows of single crochet up each front, worked loosely over the machine stitching and one stitch in, into every other row. In the second row of the right front you make 7 button loops of 4–5 chains, depending on the size of your buttons — the first at the neckline, the last just above the hem, the others evenly between. The crochet hook and the 7 buttons are not included; the pattern gives no button size.
Is anything unclear in the pattern?
A few small things. In size S the skip marks on the body chart leave 72 rounds, one more than the 71 in the text; knit the chart as marked — the difference is under 1 cm (our calculation). The gauge is given over stocking stitch, but the whole jacket is stranded colourwork with two kinds of yarn, so knit your gauge swatch in the pattern (our suggestion). The stitch holders for the underarms and the sewing machine for the steek are not in the materials list.
Are the colours the same as in the pattern?
Yes. Every colour in the earth version is still made, so nothing is replaced. The shop names add “heather” to some of them — for example light ash heather for the pattern’s ash.
Which photo shows this version?
The first photo — the woman by the concrete wall in the black heather jacket with grey, beige, blue-grey and brown bands. The second photo shows the colourful version on black; it is sold as a separate kit, with five of its colours replaced. The buttons are not included; the grey top and the jeans are not part of the pattern.
What does the kit with needles include?
7 mm circular needles in 40 and 80 cm; a 6 mm (US 10) circular needle in 80 cm; a 5 mm (US 8) circular needle in 40 cm; 6 mm and 7 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern. The 6 mm crochet hook and the 7 buttons are not included.
