The hem and cuffs are 4 rounds of K1, P1 rib in A and 1 (2, 2) rounds in B on 3.5 mm. On 4.5 mm comes the 9-round border of chart 1 — 4 stitches are increased on the body and 2 (2, 4) on each sleeve in its first round — and then the body and sleeves go on in A. The body is knitted to 30 (33, 36) cm; the sleeves are increased at the underarm 6 (7, 6) times, to 48 (50, 52) stitches, and knitted to 32 (35, 38) cm. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, 200 (208, 216) stitches, and chart 2 is knitted: 39 rounds with three rows of faces, smaller towards the neck, and five decrease rounds worked into the chart, down to 75 (78, 81) stitches; sizes 6 and 8 leave out marked rounds. The neckband is knitted on 3.5 mm, decreased to 66 (68, 70) stitches: 6 rounds of K1, P1 rib in A and 4 in B, bound off very loosely in rib — a single layer, not folded. Last, the underarm stitches are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 29 (no. 14), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601128095797,"sku":"PAT-EN-FES","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi29-fes-2_32a8f70a-3ee4-4578-8705-38f114b8afd0.jpg?v=1791000674","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/fes-childrens-yoke-sweater-with-faces-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
