Overview
What's in the kit
Védís Jónsdóttir’s children’s set from Ístex’s Lopi 12, in its natural version, No. 34: a charcoal round-yoke sweater, an ear-flap hat with crocheted cords and a pair of mittens. The yoke is white, light grey, dark grey and acorn brown on charcoal — small white motifs, a wide light grey band with small brown motifs, a dark grey band, and white spikes rising to a folded neckband — and a white border with small brown and grey dots sits above the ribbed hem and cuffs. The hat and mittens carry a matching band. The main colour is black heather (0005), a charcoal heather. All five colours are still made, so nothing is replaced. The same set in bright green, No. 33, is sold as a separate kit.

How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up. Hem and cuffs are K1, P1 rib in black heather on 4.5 mm, followed on 6 mm by a 7-round white border with small acorn and dark grey dots (the 110 and 122 cm sizes leave out one round); the body and sleeves go on in black heather, the sleeves on double-pointed needles. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 33-round chart with four decrease rounds; the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds, and the top of the yoke moves onto the double-pointed needles. The neckband is K1, P1 rib in black heather on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, folded in half to the inside and sewn down, and the underarm stitches are grafted. The hat starts with two ear flaps knitted back and forth; stitches are picked up from them and it is knitted in the round in black heather with a band of white, light grey, acorn and dark grey, and a gathered crown. Two cords are crocheted from all five colours and sewn to the ear flaps. The mittens are black heather with a band of white, light grey, acorn and dark grey above the thumb; the thumb opening is knitted over a scrap of contrast yarn.
