In the photo it is navy, with a yoke of white zigzags, blue diamonds and long blue shapes rising to the neck, and the same blue and white border above the ribbed hem and cuffs. The ribbed front bands have a knitted facing folded over the cut edge, and the buttons go up to a folded neckband. The leaflet prints only the colour numbers; the navy (0709) and the white (0051) are still made, but the blue, 9390, is not.\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\u003eFive sizes, XS to XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve lengths and button sides for women and for men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo charts — the border above the hem and cuffs, and the yoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The 8 stitches at each front edge then go onto holders for the bands, and the rest are increased to 131 (137, 143, 149, 155). On 6 mm, 2 stitches are cast on at the centre front and purled all the way up, and the body is knitted in the round: an 11-round border from chart 1 in all three colours, then the navy (M) to 38 (40, 42, 43, 44) cm. The sleeves are knitted in the round from 6 (6, 6, 7, 7) cm of K1, P1 rib on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, get the same border, and are increased every 7th round for women or every 8th for men. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 43-round chart in all three colours with four decrease rounds, from 205 (211, 217, 235, 241) stitches to 71 (73, 75, 81, 83); the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. Two rows of machine stitching go up the centre of each column of purl stitches, and the front is cut open between them. Each front band is knitted from its 8 held stitches, with 3 stitches cast on for a stocking-stitch facing, until it reaches the neckline when slightly stretched; it is sewn on, and the facing is folded over the cut edge on the wrong side and slip-stitched. The buttonhole band has 4 (4, 5, 5, 5) buttonholes. The neckband is knitted back and forth in rib on 4.5 mm with one more buttonhole, folded in half to the inside and slip-stitched, and the underarms are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðríður Aðalsteinsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 12 (no. 15), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601135829045,"sku":"PAT-EN-L12-15","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi12-15-1_e51dd112-3a87-483a-a0f0-2e015fa861d7.jpg?v=1790999620","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-12-no-15-navy-yoke-cardigan-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
