Védís Jónsdóttir’s children’s cardigan from Ístex’s Lopi 27, in its red version: crimson red Léttlopi with a black round yoke of butterflies in four tiers, with mimosa lower wings and white upper wings. The hem and cuffs are eyelet rib, the front is cut open, and a crochet border with button loops finishes it. The leaflet shows only the blue version, but Ístex photographed the red cardigan with the matching Skotta dress (Lopi 27) — that photo is the first one on this page. The pattern’s sun yellow (1411) is no longer made; this kit has 1703 mimosa in its place. The “golden yarn” the pattern uses to embroider the butterflies’ bodies has no code or amount and is not included.\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 is included, so every size is 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 · ages 2 (3–4 6 8) years\u003cbr\u003e\nA 9434 Crimson Red — 3 (4 5 5)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 0059 Black — 1 (2 2 2)\u003cbr\u003e\nC 1703 Mimosa (in place of 1411 sun yellow) — 1 (1 1 1)\u003cbr\u003e\nD 0051 White — 1 (1 1 1)\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\u003e2 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e3–4 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e6 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e8 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 cm\u003cbr\u003e24¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 cm\u003cbr\u003e26¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74 cm\u003cbr\u003e29¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79 cm\u003cbr\u003e31″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth at lower edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69 cm\u003cbr\u003e27¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74 cm\u003cbr\u003e29¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 cm\u003cbr\u003e32¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 cm\u003cbr\u003e34¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 cm\u003cbr\u003e8¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 cm\u003cbr\u003e9½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 cm\u003cbr\u003e10¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 cm\u003cbr\u003e11¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve length to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 cm\u003cbr\u003e9½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 cm\u003cbr\u003e10¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 cm\u003cbr\u003e11¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 cm\u003cbr\u003e13″\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 cm\u003cbr\u003e3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle, 40 cm, for the neckband\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\u003eA 3.5 mm crochet hook for the front borders and button loops, 5–7 small buttons (the pattern gives no size), stitch holders (or scrap yarn) for the underarm stitches, a sewing machine and thread for the steek, a tapestry needle for the embroidery and the underarms, and the “golden yarn” the pattern asks for to embroider the butterflies’ bodies (it gives no code or amount).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody and sleeves are knitted in the round from the bottom up. The body starts with a border of single eyelet rib — P2, K3, with a small hole in each K3 rib every other row — knitted back and forth; then 2 purl stitches are cast on at the front for the steek and the work is joined. The sleeves start with the same eyelet rib, in the round on double-pointed needles. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke: a 36-round chart with four tiers of butterflies — with mimosa lower wings and white upper wings, on black — big ones at the bottom and tiny ones by the neck, with six decrease rounds. The neckband is 4 rows of K1, P1 rib on 3.5 mm, knitted back and forth. The underarms are grafted, the front is machine-sewn and cut open, and both fronts get 2 rows of single crochet, with 5–7 button loops on the right front. Last, the butterflies’ bodies are embroidered in duplicate stitch and their antennae in backstitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 27 (no. 1), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600721477685,"sku":"KIT-EN-FIDRILDASLOD-RED","price":69.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600730128437,"sku":"KIT-EN-FIDRILDASLOD-RED-NDL","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi27-skotta-cover-1_fa18bd62-7383-412a-a889-d2158a7a604a.jpg?v=1790984049","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/fidrildaslod-red-childrens-butterfly-yoke-cardigan-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
