{"product_id":"hamingja-striped-zip-cardigan-knitting-pattern","title":"Hamingja — Striped Zip Cardigan Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eHamingja — happiness. Védís Jónsdóttir’s zip-up cardigan for women from Ístex’s Lopi 28 is knitted with two strands of Léttlopi held together, so each wide stripe is a blend of two colours: blue, dark teal, raspberry, golden and dark blue-green on the body and sleeves, then a round yoke with a pale blue-grey band, a red-orange band and a dark top. It has moss-stitch edges, a steeked front with a two-way zip, and a folded neckband with a cord. One colour version, in sizes XS to XXL. Two of the nine colours are no longer made — orange (1410) and sun yellow (1411): together they make the golden stripe, and orange with garnet red makes the red-orange yoke band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 40-round yoke chart, with a key to the colour pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

Body and sleeves are knitted from the bottom up. The body starts with a knit row and 6 rows of moss stitch, knitted back and forth on 5.5 mm; then 2 purl stitches are cast on at the front for the steek and the work is joined in the round on 6.5 mm. Five wide stripes run up the body and sleeves — blue (lapis blue + heaven blue), dark teal (navy + lagoon), raspberry (garnet red + pink), golden (orange + sun yellow) and dark blue-green (lapis blue + lagoon) — and three decrease rounds of 8 stitches narrow the body towards the chest. The sleeves start with a moss-stitch cuff on 5.5 mm double-pointed needles and are increased at the underarm. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, a 40-round chart with five decrease rounds: two rounds of lapis blue + lagoon, a pale blue-grey band (heaven blue + ash), a red-orange band (garnet red + orange) and a dark top (lapis blue + navy). The neckband is moss stitch on 5 mm, knitted back and forth, with two eyelets for the cord, and folded to the inside along a ridge. The front is machine-sewn and cut open, and a two-way zip is sewn in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 28 (no. 6), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601222172725,"sku":"PAT-EN-HAMINGJA","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi28-hamingja-1_5887af46-0449-41ac-826e-1eda1eaac7d7.jpg?v=1790999914","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/hamingja-striped-zip-cardigan-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
