It is the matching hat to the Hlökk zip jacket, and its one size goes with the jacket’s sizes, 116–134. The pattern’s sapphire blue (9968) and monet blue tweed (9735) are no longer made; this kit has 0118 navy and 1234 blue tweed in their place, as in the blue Hlökk jacket kit. The hat takes less than one ball of each colour, so you will have a lot of yarn left over (see below).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — 5 balls, one of each colour (the pattern says the hat takes less than one ball of each; see the FAQ)\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\u003eÁlafosslopi — 100 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · one size, 116–134\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0118 Navy (in place of 9968 sapphire blue) — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nB 9962 Ruby Red Heather — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nC 1234 Blue Tweed (in place of 9735 monet blue tweed) — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nD 9971 Amber Heather — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nE 9964 Golden Heather — 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne size, printed as 116–134 — European children’s sizes, named after the child’s height in cm (roughly 5 to 9 years, our reading).

The stripes are 14 rows of navy, 10 of ruby red, 8 of blue tweed, 4 of navy, 6 of amber, 6 of golden heather and 10 of ruby red. Then every two stitches are knitted together, a row is purled, and every two are knitted together again — from 48 stitches to 12 — the yarn is drawn through them and the side edges are sewn together. A pompom, made on an 8 cm cardboard ring, goes on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 24 (no. 8), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600978083893,"sku":"KIT-EN-HADDUR-BLUE","price":67.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600989126709,"sku":"KIT-EN-HADDUR-BLUE-NDL","price":81.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi24-hlokk-haddur-cover-2_260ff36e-9961-464f-bb8c-281f3c7abe96.jpg?v=1790996923","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/haddur-blue-childrens-striped-brioche-hat-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
