No. 23 is light beige with acorn, white, black sheep and oatmeal; no. 24 is light ash with dark grey, white, black heather and ash (our shop’s names — the leaflet prints only the colour numbers). Both have a deep yoke — dark points rising from the body, a wide band of white star shapes with small dark ovals between them, and white rays up to a folded ribbed neckband — and a matching border above the hem and cuff rib. The same leaflet has a plain one-colour hat by Guðrún Jónsdóttir and patterned mittens by Kristbjörg Jónsdóttir in either version’s colours. Every colour number in the leaflet is still made.\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 — no. 23 light beige and no. 24 light ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes M, L and XL, with sleeve lengths for women and for men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA one-colour hat (printed as one size) and patterned mittens in sizes M and L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree charts — the border above the hem and cuffs, the yoke and the mittens — with a key for both versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The body is cast on with 130 (136, 140) stitches in colour A on the 4.5 mm circular for 6 (7, 7) cm of K1, P1 rib, then increased to 144 (150, 156) on 6 mm. An 11-round border from chart 1 comes next — white with dark points rising into a dark band, then colour A points rising into the main colour — and the body goes on in M to 42 (43, 44) cm. The sleeves are cast on with 30 (32, 32) stitches in A on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles for the same rib, increased to 42 (48, 48) on 6 mm and given the same border; then you change to M and, in the pattern’s words, “at the same time” increase 1 stitch after the first and 1 before the last stitch of the round on every 7th round for women or every 8th round for men, 8 (7, 8) times, to 58 (62, 64) stitches, and knit on to 43 (45, 45) cm for women or 48 (50, 50) cm for men. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — 216 (234, 240) stitches — and chart 2 takes it to the neck: first 13 rounds — dark points, a band in colour A, and white with small dots — with 20 (24, 16) stitches decreased evenly on round 13, to 196 (210, 224); then a 14-stitch repeat with its decreases drawn in the chart, to 56 (60, 64) stitches. Size M leaves out rounds 30, 33, 38 and 39, and size L rounds 33 and 39, so the chart is 39 (41, 43) rounds. The neckband is knitted in A on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles — 56 (58, 60) stitches, 8 cm of K1, P1 rib — cast off loosely, folded in half to the inside and slip-stitched down. The underarm stitches are grafted. The hat is knitted in the round on 6 mm double-pointed needles in plain stocking stitch, with no rib, then decreased in three steps and drawn together. The mittens start with 2 rounds of K1, P1 rib in A and rib in the main colour to 7 cm; the hand is knitted on 6 mm with a thumb opening knitted over contrast yarn, chart 3 — 13 rounds of small motifs in colours A, C and D on white — and a top decreased at both sides to 8 stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Kristbjörg Jónsdóttir (sweater and mittens) and Guðrún Jónsdóttir (hat) — patterns from Lopi No. 12 (nos. 23 and 24), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67602562154549,"sku":"PAT-EN-L12-23-24","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/L12_24_Audur_Light_Grey_Icelandic_wool_sweater_Knitting_Kit_6e31d20b-d37f-4d8f-a3e3-a906630c01cb.jpg?v=1791035501","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-12-no-23-24-round-yoke-sweater-hat-and-mittens-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
