A baby set from Ístex’s Lopi 34 in Léttlopi: a round-yoke cardigan with a row of big white hearts round the yoke, and a pair of plain trousers. The cardigan is murky, with small straw V shapes over the body and sleeves and a band of straw and white above the rib; it is knitted in the round, cut open at the front and finished with crocheted bands and 6 buttons. The trousers have ribbed cuffs, a raised back and a ribbed waist for elastic or a twisted cord. The original pattern and instructions are by Ragnheiður Matthíasdóttir; Védís Jónsdóttir redesigned it. One colour version, in sizes 6–9, 9–18 and 18–24 months. All three colours are still made.\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\u003eTwo pieces — the cardigan and the trousers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes 6–9, 9–18 and 18–24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour charts for the cardigan, with a colour key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The sleeves start with K1, P1 rib on 4 mm double-pointed needles and follow the same chart, with 2 stitches increased under the arm 6 times. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke: chart 2, a band of straw squares between white lines; chart 3, a row of big white hearts; and chart 4, small white-and-straw diamonds — decreasing from 167 (173, 179) stitches to 79 (85, 91). The neckband is K1, P1 rib, knitted back and forth once the 2 steek stitches are bound off. The front is machine-sewn twice through the purl stitches and cut open, and the front bands are three rows of single crochet in murky, with 6 buttonholes on the right band. The trousers are plain murky: each leg is knitted in the round from a 4 cm rib cuff and increased at the inside leg; the legs are joined with 4 stitches cast on at the centre back and the centre front, decreased at both, and short rows raise the back. The waist is 3 cm of K1, P1 rib, an eyelet round and 3 more rounds of rib; elastic or a twisted cord goes through the eyelets, and the crotch seam is sewn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOriginal pattern and instructions: Ragnheiður Matthíasdóttir.
