A matching border sits above the hem and cuffs, and the pattern gives sleeve lengths for women and for men. The pattern’s medium brown tweed (9453) is no longer made; this kit has 0053 acorn heather in its place. It is very close to the warm mid-brown in the photo, but a plain heather, so the small white and black tweed flecks you see in the photo will not be there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÁlafosslopi — 100 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes S (M L XL)\u003cbr\u003e\nM 0053 Acorn Heather (in place of 9453 medium brown tweed) — 7 (8 8 9)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0051 White — 2 (2 2 2)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 0005 Black Heather — 1 (1 1 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eXL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 cm\u003cbr\u003e39¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108 cm\u003cbr\u003e42½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115 cm\u003cbr\u003e45¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e123 cm\u003cbr\u003e48½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to centre front neck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 cm\u003cbr\u003e25½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 cm\u003cbr\u003e26¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm\u003cbr\u003e27½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 cm\u003cbr\u003e28¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve to underarm, women\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 cm\u003cbr\u003e17″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 cm\u003cbr\u003e17″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 cm\u003cbr\u003e17¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 cm\u003cbr\u003e17¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve to underarm, men\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 cm\u003cbr\u003e19″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 cm\u003cbr\u003e19″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13 sts × 18 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 6 mm needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles used in the pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e (included when you choose the kit with needles)\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle, 80 cm — also used back and forth for the front bands and the collar\u003cbr\u003e6 mm (US 10) circular needles, 40 and 80 cm\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm double-pointed needles — the kit with needles also has 6 mm double-pointed needles for the sleeves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 buttons (the pattern gives no size), a sewing machine and thread to secure the front opening before it is cut, and stitch holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnitted in the round from the bottom up. Hem and cuffs are K2, P2 rib on 4.5 mm, followed on 6 mm by an 8-round border in white and black heather. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 43-round chart with a band of black heather diamonds framed in white, smaller motifs above and white tulip-like shapes near the neck, with four decrease rounds. After round 16 of the yoke chart, the 5 centre-front stitches go on a holder and a purl stitch is cast on at each side. When the knitting is done, two rows of machine stitching go into each purl stitch and the opening is cut between them. A button band and a buttonhole band, each with a facing that folds over the cut edge, are knitted on 4.5 mm and sewn on. The collar is knitted back and forth across the bands and the yoke: 17 cm of K2, P2 rib, with the third buttonhole in its first rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Sunneva Hafsteinsdóttir, adapted by Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 18 (no. 17), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600600268853,"sku":"KIT-EN-L18-17","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600607641653,"sku":"KIT-EN-L18-17-NDL","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi18-17-1_3fd11667-bce5-431b-8559-664277f4eb51.jpg?v=1790976052","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-18-no-17-brown-yoke-sweater-placket-collar-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
