The yoke is textured rather than stranded: its background is purled with one strand of light grey tweed Álafosslopi and one strand of black sheep heather Léttlopi held together, so it forms raised, dark marled cells, like a honeycomb, outlined by stitches knitted in grey alone. The collar is ribbed with the same two strands, and the pattern gives sleeve lengths for women and for men, in two sizes, M and L. The pattern’s light gray tweed (9451) is no longer made; this kit has 9974 light grey tweed in its place — today’s light grey tweed with small dark flecks. The photo was taken in dull light, so the grey looks darker there than 9974 will knit up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi and Léttlopi 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 M (L)\u003cbr\u003e\nM 9974 Light Grey Tweed (in place of 9451 light gray tweed) — 7 (9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLéttlopi — 50 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes M (L)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0052 Black Sheep Heather — 2 (2)\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\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e113 cm\u003cbr\u003e44½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125 cm\u003cbr\u003e49¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to centre front neck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 cm\u003cbr\u003e24¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67 cm\u003cbr\u003e26½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve to underarm, women\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 cm\u003cbr\u003e16½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 cm\u003cbr\u003e17¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve to underarm, men\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 cm\u003cbr\u003e18½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 sts × 16 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 7 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\u003e5 mm (US 8) circular needle, 80 cm\u003cbr\u003e7 mm (US 10½) circular needles, 40 and 80 cm\u003cbr\u003e5 mm double-pointed needles — the kit with needles also has 7 mm double-pointed needles for the sleeves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStitch holders for the underarm stitches, and a tapestry needle for grafting them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnitted in the round from the bottom up: 6 cm of K1, P1 rib at the hem and cuffs on 5 mm, then light grey tweed Álafosslopi in stocking stitch on 7 mm.
