{"product_id":"eyja-lavender-blue-round-yoke-sweater-dress-knitting-kit","title":"Eyja — Lavender-Blue Round-Yoke Sweater Dress Knitting Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eEyja — island. Védís Jónsdóttir’s sweater dress from Ístex’s Lopi 26, in the version the pattern calls lilac: a long-sleeved round-yoke dress in Léttlopi, with a yoke of zigzags and small diamonds in black and garnet red, black cuffs with a garnet border, and a shaped waist. There is no rib: the hem, cuffs and neck have a small garter edge with a row of eyelets. The pattern has a short and a long length, and the kit holds yarn for the long one. The pattern’s lilac (1413) — the main colour of the dress — is no longer made, and no Léttlopi made today is lilac. This kit has 1702 milkyway in its place: a pale lavender-blue, clearly paler and bluer than the lilac in the first photo. Your dress will not be lilac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size in the long length is included, so every size and both lengths are covered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLéttlopi — 50 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes XS (S M L XL), long length — the short length takes one ball less of the main colour\u003cbr\u003e\nA 1702 Milkyway (in place of 1413 lilac) — 9 (10 10 11 11)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 1409 Garnet Red — 1 (1 1 1 1)\u003cbr\u003e\nC 0059 Black — 2 (2 2 2 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eXS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eXL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83 cm\u003cbr\u003e32¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 cm\u003cbr\u003e34¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e92 cm\u003cbr\u003e36¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 cm\u003cbr\u003e38¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e101 cm\u003cbr\u003e39¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to underarm — short\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 cm\u003cbr\u003e22¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 cm\u003cbr\u003e23½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62 cm\u003cbr\u003e24½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 cm\u003cbr\u003e25¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64 cm\u003cbr\u003e25¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to underarm — long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 cm\u003cbr\u003e26¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm\u003cbr\u003e27½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 cm\u003cbr\u003e28¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74 cm\u003cbr\u003e29¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74 cm\u003cbr\u003e29¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve length to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 cm\u003cbr\u003e17¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 cm\u003cbr\u003e17¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46 cm\u003cbr\u003e18″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 cm\u003cbr\u003e18½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 cm\u003cbr\u003e19″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18 sts × 24 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 4.5 mm needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles used in the pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e (included when you choose the kit with needles)\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles, 40 and 60–80 cm — the kit with needles has 40 and 80 cm\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm (US 7) double-pointed needles for the sleeves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 stitch markers for the waist shaping, stitch holders (or scrap yarn) for the underarm stitches, and a tapestry needle for grafting them.

The body is cast on in milkyway and starts with 3 rows knitted back and forth — knit, a row of eyelets (k2tog, yo), knit — before it is joined: a small garter edge with a row of holes, where most yoke sweaters have rib. The body is plain stocking stitch in milkyway, knitted straight to 20–24 cm (short) or 30–34 cm (long) and then shaped at the waist: 20 stitches are decreased at the sides, and 12 are increased again. The sleeves start with the same eyelet edge in black and an 8-round border in all three colours. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke: a 50-round chart of zigzags and small diamonds in black and garnet red on milkyway, with six decrease rounds and a few rounds skipped in every size but XL. The neckband, in black, is a knit round, a purl round, an eyelet round and a purl round. The underarm stitches are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 26 (no. 14), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600932143157,"sku":"KIT-EN-EYJA-LAVENDER","price":96.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600944365621,"sku":"KIT-EN-EYJA-LAVENDER-NDL","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi26-eyja-cover-2_062918f8-b7a8-4406-a5d6-d5c4a6e727e7.jpg?v=1790985397","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/eyja-lavender-blue-round-yoke-sweater-dress-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
