Good to know

Klukka — your questions, answered

Why is one colour different from the pattern?
Light red (1408) is no longer made. This kit has crimson red (9434) in its place — knit it wherever the chart shows colour E: the roses in the band above the hem. Crimson red is the closest red Ístex still makes, but it is deeper than the light red roses in the photos. You can choose another shade in the colour picker.
Which size should I knit?
Four sizes — S, M, L and XL — with a chest of 80, 84, 88 and 93 cm. That is the measurement of the dress itself, and the bodice is close-fitting; the pattern gives no advice on ease, so compare with a dress or top that fits you. The dress is 91 to 98 cm long and 142 to 155 cm round the hem.
The pattern’s size table says the dress is 142–155 cm long — is that right?
No — two rows of the table are swapped. The numbers printed as “Width (lower edge)”, 91 (93) 96 (98) cm, are the length; the numbers printed as “Length”, 142 (146) 151 (155) cm, are the width all round the hem. You can check it: the skirt has 256 to 280 stitches just above the eyelet hem, which at 18 stitches to 10 cm is 142 to 156 cm round, and skirt, waist rib, bodice and armhole add up to 89–96 cm before the last rows at the shoulders (our calculation). The size table on this page shows the corrected values.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for XL: 9 balls of lagoon heather, 2 of light ash heather and one each of black, spring green heather and crimson red — 14 balls. S and M use 7 balls of lagoon heather, L uses 8. The pattern calls the hem colour “ash”: it is 0054, the same number — Light Ash Heather in our shop. The pattern says you can knit more rounds between the skirt decreases for a longer dress — that takes more lagoon heather.
Is the top in the photos part of the pattern?
No — Klukka is sleeveless. In the photos it is worn over a top with sleeves (long black sleeves with the pink dress, three-quarter grey sleeves with the teal one), with tights or long socks; none of these is in the pattern or the kit.
Is anything else unclear in the pattern?
Three small things. At the armholes, “dec 1 st every other row 5 times” means one stitch at each armhole edge — that is how 60 stitches become 50 in size S. The front’s last 13 (13) 14 (14) cm are measured from the neck cast-off, so front and back armholes match (our reading). And the back shoulders are cast off while the front ones stay on the needle, so “graft” means sewing the open front stitches to the cast-off back edge (our reading).
What does the kit with needles include?
4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 60 and 80 cm; a 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle in 60 cm for the waist rib — ADDI, as named in the pattern. The pattern gives the longer needle as 80–100 cm; the kit has 80 cm. The 3.5 mm crochet hook is not included.
