Good to know

Lopi 12 No. 34 — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Four sizes by the child’s height — 110, 122, 134 and 140 cm — with a chest of 78 to 92 cm, 42 to 54 cm long to the front neck and sleeves of 25 to 35 cm. The pattern gives heights, not ages, so measure the child. The hat is one size, 66 stitches round — about 51 cm (our calculation). The mittens come in three sizes, 110, 122/134 and 140 — about 15.5, 17 and 18.5 cm round the hand by the stitch counts (our calculation).
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for the 140 cm size plus the hat and mittens: 7 balls of black heather (5 for the sweater, 1 for the hat, 1 for the mittens), 2 of white and 1 each of ash heather, acorn heather and dark grey heather — 12 balls. For the sweater alone, the 110 cm size uses 3 balls of black heather and 1 of white, the 122 cm size 4 and 1, and the 134 cm size 4 and 2. The hat and mitten lists give no amounts for their contrast colours, so the bands and cords come from the sweater’s balls (our reading).
Are the hat and mittens in the kit?
Yes — they are on pages 4 and 5 of the same pattern, and the kit holds their yarn. The hat is one size. Two ear flaps are knitted back and forth first; stitches are picked up across them, more are cast on between them, and the hat is knitted in the round with a 13-round patterned band and a gathered crown. Two cords, 25 cm long, are crocheted in chain stitch, changing colour with every stitch through all five colours, and sewn to the bottom of each ear flap — you need a 4.5 mm crochet hook, which is not included. In No. 34 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, which you later pull out to pick up the thumb stitches.
Is the pattern for both colour versions?
Yes — the leaflet has one set of instructions and charts for No. 33 (green) and No. 34 (charcoal), and the materials lists and chart key give the colours for each side by side; read the No. 34 column. This kit has the yarn for No. 34; the green No. 33 is sold as a separate kit, with four colours replaced. All five colours of No. 34 are still made, so nothing in this kit is replaced.
Anything to watch for?
A few small things. The chart key prints short codes in the No. 34 column — 05, 51, 56, 53 and 58 are black heather, white, light grey (sold as ash heather), acorn and dark grey. The hat’s list prints “M 92120005 1”: the two versions’ codes run together, and it means 1 ball of the main colour, 0005. On the sleeves of sizes 134 and 140 the pattern itself says the border chart “does not work out”: 38 stitches do not divide by the 6-stitch repeat, so the border breaks where the round starts, under the arm. In sizes 110 and 140 each sleeve puts 9 stitches on the underarm holder and the body 8, so you graft 9 stitches to 8; ease them together (our suggestion).
Which photo shows this version?
The cover photo by the sea: the girl on the left wears No. 34 — the sweater, the ear-flap hat and the mittens. Her red scarf, the jeans and the fishing rod are not part of the pattern. The boy on the right wears Lopi 12 no. 32, a different pattern, sold as its own kit. The girl holding a puppy wears the green No. 33, sold as a separate kit.
What does the kit with needles include?
4.5 mm (US 7) and 6 mm (US 10) circular needles in 60 cm; 4.5 mm and 6 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern. The 6 mm double-pointed needles are for the sleeves, the top of the yoke, the hat and the mittens. The 4.5 mm crochet hook for the hat cords, stitch holders and contrast yarn are not included.
