Liljulag — Children’s Sweater Knitting Kit

Liljulag — a little lily blossom in happy colours: red and pink for courage and strength, and joy in yellow and white, as the pattern says. Védís Jónsdóttir’s children’s yoke sweater from Ístex’s Lopi 38 is knitted with two strands of Plötulopi — carmine red with a sunset rose yoke, white lilies and golden yellow.

Knitted with two strands of Plötulopi together. Body and sleeves are knitted in the round from 1×1 rib up to the underarms, joined, and the yoke is knitted in the round from a chart. The neckband is rib, with short rows at the back so it is 4 cm high there.
