How it is knitted
Knitted in the round on double-pointed needles: a 1×1 rib cuff, then stocking stitch with a few increases. The thumb stitches are knitted onto waste yarn — mirrored for the right and the left hand — and picked up at the end. The top is shaped with paired decreases at both sides down to 4 stitches.
Design: Baldrún Kolfinna Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 7), Ístex.
