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.

Good to know

Hraglandi — your questions, answered

What is Plötulopi?

Unspun Icelandic wool, sold in 100 g plates rather than balls. This pattern works it as 2-ply Plötulopi at 14 stitches to 10 cm on 5.5 mm needles.

Shorter or longer — how do I choose?

The longer version adds 4 cm to both body and sleeves: body to underarm 36–42 cm shorter or 40–46 cm longer, depending on size. The kit has yarn enough for either.

Which size should I knit?

The pattern has four sizes — S, M/L, XL/2XL and 3XL — with a chest of 97, 108, 120 and 131 cm all round. Pick the one closest to a sweater that fits you.

What are the short rows at the back for?

After the yoke chart, a few short rows are knitted across the back so the neckline sits higher at the back than at the front. The neckband is then folded in half to the inside and sewn down.

Will I have yarn left over?

The kit holds the amount for 3XL: 5 plates of jasper red and 2 of oatmeal. Size S uses 3 red and 1 oatmeal; M/L and XL/2XL use 4 red.

What does the kit with needles include?

Two 5.5 mm (US 9) circular needles (40 and 80 cm), two 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles (40 and 80 cm), and 4.5 mm and 5.5 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, the sizes the pattern names.
