Good to know

Haus — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Four sizes — 10, 12, 14 and 16 years — with a chest of 86, 92, 98 and 104 cm, a length of 58, 60, 63 and 66 cm, and sleeves of 45, 47, 49 and 52 cm.
How much yarn do I need?
Álafosslopi in 100 g balls: black heather (A, 0005) 6 (7, 7, 8) and white (B, 0051) 1 in every size — 7 balls for 10 years, 8 for 12 and 14 years, 9 for 16 years. Both colours are still made by Ístex, and our shop uses the same names.
How is the ram’s head knitted?
In intarsia, from the back chart: each colour area is knitted from its own length of yarn, and the yarns are twisted together where the colours meet so no holes form. The pattern refers to an information page in the Lopi 26 book for the technique; that page is not part of this PDF.
Is the chart drawn the right way round?
The colours are reversed. The key gives white squares as black heather (A) and black squares as white (B), so the ram’s head and the stripe are drawn black on the charts but knitted white.
Are there mistakes in the pattern?
Two, both in the sleeves. The decreases leave 34 and 36 stitches for 10 and 12 years, not the 32 and 34 printed — the sleeve chart agrees with 34 and 36 (our check). And the sleeve length before the cuff is printed for only three sizes, “42 (44) 47 cm”; take the sleeve length from the size table minus the 3 cm cuff: 42, 44, 46 and 49 cm (our reading).
What else do I need?
Stitch holders (or waste yarn) for the 3 underarm stitches at each side of the back and front and for the 9 (11, 11, 11) front-neck stitches — the pattern uses them but does not list them — and bobbins for the intarsia if you like to use them. The neckband is picked up “using 4½ mm needle” without saying which; the 4.5 mm double-pointed needles in the list will hold its 54 to 60 stitches (our suggestion).
Is the hat part of the pattern?
No. The hat in the photos is Nei, a separate pattern from the same book, knitted in Jöklalopi (Bulky Lopi) in the same colour number, 0005. The jeans and the necklace are not part of the pattern either.
How do I get the pattern?
The PDF is emailed to you right after purchase. Nothing is posted. It is in English and has 4 pages: the cover photo; a page with the materials, sizes, gauge, the back and the front, the start of the sleeves, the colour key and the back chart; a page with the rest of the sleeves, the neckband, the finishing and the front and sleeve charts; and Ístex’s back cover, with a photo of the back of the sweater.
