Védís Jónsdóttir’s cardigan from Ístex’s Lopi 28 is short-sleeved and hip-length, in Léttlopi: bands of stars, diamonds and small crosses in barley and light ash on black, brown stripes between them, rows of rust eyelets, a round yoke, black moss-stitch edges and five crochet button loops.

The body starts with 7 rows of black moss stitch, knitted back and forth on 4 mm; then 2 purl stitches are cast on at the front for the steek and the work is joined. Three bands of stranded colourwork — stars, diamonds and small crosses in barley and light ash on black — alternate with stripes of chocolate heather, each band framed by rounds of rust eyelets (k2tog, yo), and the body is narrowed a little on the way up: 4 stitches at the side markers after the first band, 10 spread evenly round after the second (and, in XS and L, 2 on the back after the third). The short sleeves start with a black moss-stitch cuff on 4 mm double-pointed needles and carry one band. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, which continues the stripes, bands and eyelet rows, with five decrease rounds. The neckband is 5 rows of black moss stitch on 3.5 mm. The front is machine-sewn and cut open, the underarms are grafted, and both fronts get 2 rows of black single crochet — with 5 chain button loops on the right front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 28 (no. 14), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600575922229,"sku":"KIT-EN-HUN","price":96.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600605773877,"sku":"KIT-EN-HUN-NDL","price":164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi28-hun-1_a0bc4467-715d-470c-bd5e-8b2a7c8a4093.jpg?v=1790975463","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/hun-brown-black-short-sleeved-cardigan-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
