The yoke is textured rather than stranded: its background is purled with one strand of Álafosslopi and one strand of Léttlopi held together, which makes raised, marled cells, like a honeycomb, outlined by lines knitted in the Álafosslopi alone, and the collar is ribbed with the same two strands. One leaflet, two pattern numbers with the same instructions and chart: Design 20 is medium brown tweed with white Léttlopi, and Design 21 light gray tweed with black sheep Léttlopi. Both tweeds are no longer made — medium brown tweed (9453) and light gray tweed (9451); the two Léttlopi colours still are.\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\u003eBoth pattern numbers — Design 20, brown with white, and Design 21, light grey with black sheep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes, M and L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve lengths for women and for men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe yoke chart, with a key for the purled and the knitted stitches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The body is cast on with 114 (124) stitches in M on the 5 mm circular, worked in K1, P1 rib for 6 cm, increased to 124 (138) stitches and knitted in stocking stitch on 7 mm to 38 (41) cm. The sleeves are cast on with 28 (30) stitches on 5 mm double-pointed needles, ribbed for 6 cm, increased to 40 (42), and on 7 mm increased every 7th (8th) round to 52 (54) stitches. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — 182 (196) stitches — and knitted from a 41-round chart with five decrease rounds, down to 52 (56); size M skips one round. On the chart’s empty squares you purl with one strand of M and one of A held together; on the dot squares you knit with M alone. The collar is 13 rounds of K1, P1 rib on 5 mm double-pointed needles with one strand each of M and A, decreased by 2 stitches on the first round to 50 (54), and cast off loosely; it is not folded. The underarm stitches are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Erla Þórarinsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 18 (nos. 20 and 21), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601202642997,"sku":"PAT-EN-L18-20-21","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi18-20-1_05988965-6248-4474-a7e9-3030bb0ebc56.jpg?v=1791005980","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-18-no-20-21-honeycomb-yoke-sweater-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
