Good to know

Kambur — your questions, answered

What is in the leaflet?
Two patterns by Védís Jónsdóttir from Ístex’s Lopi 28: No. 15, the Kambur sweater, in sizes 1 to 4 years, and No. 16, the Kambur hat, in children’s size 2–4 years. Each has its own materials list and instructions, and both come in the Grey and the Green version.
Can I still buy the colours in the photos?
Yes. All seven are still made by Ístex. Grey: Léttlopi light grey (0056), stone blue (9418), white (0051) and black heather (0005). Green: frostbite (1417), moor (1416), white (0051) and black sheep (0052). Our shop calls 0056 ash heather and 9418 stone blue heather, so go by the colour numbers.
Which size should I knit?
The sweater has four sizes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 years, with a chest of 58, 62, 66 and 71 cm all the way round — the body’s stitches at the pattern’s gauge, to within 1 cm (our check). The body is 20 to 26 cm from the hem to the underarm and the sleeves 22 to 28 cm; measure the child before you choose. The hat is one size, 2–4 years; the pattern gives no measurements, and by our calculation its 80 stitches come to about 44 cm round.
How much yarn do I need?
Léttlopi in 50 g balls. Sweater: A 3 (3, 3, 4), B 1 (1, 1, 2), and one ball each of C and D — 6 (6, 6, 8) balls. Hat: one ball each of A, B, C and D — 4 balls. The amounts are the same for the Grey and the Green version. The pattern lists the two separately and does not say whether the sweater’s leftovers are enough for the hat.
Is there a kit?
Yes, for the grey sweater only: our kit has this pattern and the yarn for the grey sweater in size 4 — light grey ×4, stone blue ×2, white ×1 and black heather ×1. It has no yarn for the hat, and we have no kit for the green version.
Is anything unclear in the pattern?
Small things. Chart 1 prints the sleeve count as 28 (32, 32, 32) stitches — the count after the rib — while the text then increases 4 (2, 4, 4) stitches in the first chart round; by our reading the chart’s 4-stitch repeat does not come out even in size 2 (34 stitches). The hat’s 2 plain rounds after the rib have no colour named. There is a typo (“Join in a cirlce and and work”), and the lists leave out stitch holders and a tapestry needle.
Is everything in the photos part of the pattern?
The sweater and the hat are. The blue jeans and the stone in the boy’s hands are not.
How do I get the pattern?
The PDF is emailed to you right after purchase. Nothing is posted. It is in English and has 4 pages: the cover photo of the grey sweater and hat; a page with a photo of both sweater versions, the sweater’s sizes, materials, gauge, notes, instructions, its two charts and their key; a page with the hat — its own photo, size, materials, gauge, instructions, chart and key; and Ístex’s back cover.
