How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up. Hem and cuffs are cast on in black heather and knitted in grey K1, P1 rib on 4.5 mm, followed on 6 mm by a 7-round border of white and black heather. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 35-round chart of white and black heather on grey, with four decrease rounds. The neckband is ribbed in grey and finished in black heather, then folded in half so a thin black edge shows at the top. The hat is plain grey stocking stitch on 6 mm double-pointed needles; its lower edge rolls up by itself.
Design: Bára Þórarinsdóttir; the hat is by Astrid Ellingsen — pattern from Lopi No. 12 (no. 27), Ístex.
