How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up on 6 mm, with a purl stitch at each side of the centre front. The ribbed welt is knitted back and forth on 4.5 mm with the first buttonhole, and 10 stitches at each front edge wait on holders for the bands. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 41-round chart of white tree motifs on black with two bands of grey and white above, and five decrease rounds. Two rows of machine stitching go into each purl stitch up the front, and the front is cut open between them. The ribbed front bands are knitted on from the welt with a facing that folds over the cut edge, and the folded neckband carries the top buttonhole. The beret is knitted in the round in black on 6 mm, from a moss-stitch edge up to a crown decreased at seven points.
Design: Jóhanna Hjaltadóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 12 (no. 2), Ístex.
