How it is knitted
Body and sleeves are knitted in the round from the lower edge up to the underarms, then joined and the yoke is knitted in the round from a chart. Short rows raise the back of the neck, and the neckband is folded in half to the inside. The pattern gives a shorter and a longer body and sleeve length.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 44 (no. 4), Ístex.
