Good to know

Leysingar — your questions, answered

What is intarsia?
Each colour area is knitted with its own strand, back and forth, and the strands are linked where the colours meet so no holes form. The pattern explains two ways of knitting from left to right (backward knitting), so you can work with the right side facing.
How is the jacket put together?
The back, both fronts and both sleeves are knitted separately, each starting with a Léttlopi hem that is folded to the inside. The shoulders are sewn, the collar is picked up around the fronts and back neck, and the sleeves are sewn in and the sides joined. The pattern has no fastening — it is an open jacket.
Which size should I knit?
Three sizes — S, M and L — with a chest of 105, 111 and 117 cm, a length of 72, 74 and 76 cm and a sleeve length of 57, 58 and 59 cm.
Will I have yarn left over?
Every size uses the same amounts: 3 balls each of black sheep, highland green and sheep sorrel Álafosslopi, and 2 each of black sheep and rust Léttlopi.
What does the kit with needles include?
A 6 mm (US 10) circular needle in 80 cm and a 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle in 80 cm — ADDI. The pattern also suggests a 4.5 mm needle of 100 cm or longer for picking up the collar; we do not stock that length, so it is not in the kit.
