Overview
What's in the kit
Glitta — glint. A long walk, the glint of light on the water and the houses at dusk, says the pattern. Védís Jónsdóttir’s scarf from Ístex’s Lopi 40 is knitted in brioche stitch with black cosmos Plötulopi and a strand of Einband that changes colour every stripe — brick, blue, dark green, almond and plum — with fringes of all five.

How it is knitted
Knitted back and forth in brioche stitch with a single strand of Plötulopi and a strand of Einband held together. The Plötulopi stays the same all the way; the Einband colour changes every 15 (20) cm in a set order — ten stripes. The fringes are all five Einband colours together, cut to 20 (30) cm and pulled through each stitch at both ends with a crochet hook, then steamed.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 40 (no. 21), Ístex.
