Guðný María Höskuldsdóttir’s cardigan for children from Ístex’s Lopi 30 is knitted from the neck down, back and forth, with two strands of Plötulopi held together. The yoke is a rib of twisted stitches between purls, with a bobble and then a small leaf on each rib; the body and sleeves are plain stocking stitch, with garter-stitch edges and buttons all the way down the front. The pattern gives it in two colours, clover green and jasper red, in sizes 6 to 10 years; both colours are still made by Ístex.\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 — clover green and jasper red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes — 6, 8 and 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo charts — the twisted-stitch rib of the yoke with its increases, and the leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The neck edge is 3 rows of garter stitch on 4.5 mm; then, on 5.5 mm, the yoke is a rib of twisted knit stitches between purls from chart 1, with 2 garter stitches at each front edge. A bobble sits on each rib in row 5, and from row 7 or 9 of chart 1, depending on the size, a leaf from chart 2 grows out of each rib — yarn overs widen it to 5 stitches and decreases close it again. Six increase rows in the purls take the yoke from 61 (65, 69) to 143 (153, 163) stitches, and 4 garter rows finish it. The sleeve stitches are put aside, 7 stitches are cast on at each underarm, and the body is knitted back and forth in stocking stitch to 27 (30, 35) cm from the underarm, with a buttonhole every 12 rows all the way down, then 4 garter rows on 4.5 mm. The sleeves are picked up with 7 stitches from the underarm, knitted in the round on 5.5 mm double-pointed needles, decreased 5 times and finished with 4 rows of garter stitch on 4.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðný María Höskuldsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 30 (no. 4), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601366876213,"sku":"PAT-EN-LAUFEY","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi30-laufey-1_7685715f-6cbe-4f39-ab19-cd9dfc4b5162.jpg?v=1791014231","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/laufey-childrens-leaf-cardigan-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
