{"product_id":"hvarf-sweater-or-dress-with-cape-collar-knitting-pattern","title":"Hvarf — Sweater or Dress with Cape Collar Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eHvarf is a Léttlopi sweater or dress with a wide cape collar, from Ístex’s Lopi 29, designed by Védís Jónsdóttir. Body and sleeves are knitted in the round; the body is shaped with decreases and then increases at the sides. The yoke itself is plain; the colourwork is on a cape collar knitted up from the neck and widened in five increase rounds, with a matching band above the cuffs. The pattern has two colour versions in sizes XS to XL: a crimson sweater with black sleeves and a black-edged cape in eight bright colours, and a chocolate dress with black cuffs and a cape in browns, olive greens, beige and white. Two colours of the red sweater — 1410 orange and 9264 mustard — are no longer 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 colour versions — a red sweater and a brown dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes XS, S, M, L and XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo charts for each version — the sleeve band and the cape collar — with a key for each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.
