On 6 mm, 2 stitches are cast on at the centre front and purled all the way up as a steek, and the body is joined and knitted in the round in stocking stitch to the underarm. The sleeves start with the same striped rib on 5 mm double-pointed needles and are increased at the underarm six times. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke: a 30-round chart in all five colours with five decrease rounds, from 137 (145, 153, 169) stitches to 55 (58, 61, 67); the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The collar is knitted back and forth in K1, P1 rib on 5 mm, with the same 2-row stripe in C, to 4 (4, 5, 5) cm. The purl stitches are sewn twice by machine; after the cardigan is rinsed and dried, the front is cut open between the sewn rows and the zip is sewn in under the front edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Rebekka Kristjánsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 32 (no. 13), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601366286389,"sku":"PAT-EN-KJOS","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi32-kjos-1_6696b37e-0add-44df-b157-988027039808.jpg?v=1791013541","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/kjos-childrens-zip-cardigan-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
