Good to know

Lopi 18 No. 23 — your questions, answered

Why is one colour different from the pattern?
Monet (9735) is no longer made by Ístex. This kit has blue tweed (1234) in its place — the main colour (M), used for the body, sleeves, ribs, yoke background and the first rounds of the neckband. It is a similar mid-blue, a shade darker than the photo, and its tweed flecks are white, where monet shows small red, pink and turquoise flecks. It is the same replacement as in our blue Tíglar kit. You can choose another shade in the colour picker.
Which size should I knit?
Three sizes — XS, M and XL; the pattern has no S or L. The chest is 97, 111 and 125 cm and the length 62 to 72 cm to the front neck. Sleeves are 41 to 45 cm for women and 46 to 50 cm for men. If you fall between two sizes, choose by how loose you like it.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for size XL: 8 balls of blue tweed and 3 of navy — 11 balls. XS uses 6 balls of blue and 2 of navy; M uses 7 of blue and 3 of navy. The pattern gives one amount for both sleeve lengths.
Which photo shows this version?
The man in the blue sweater by the rock wall — Design 23, knitted in the original monet. The photo of the dark grey sweater shows Design 22 from the same leaflet, sold as a separate kit (Lopi 18 No. 22).
Anything to watch for?
The charts are drawn once for both versions — follow the key for your design. In size XS the sleeve puts 7 stitches on the underarm holder but the body puts 9, so you graft 7 stitches to 9; ease them together, as every other XS count is right. The sleeve border is not a whole number of repeats, so start where Chart 1 marks “begin sleeve”; the motif breaks under the arm.
What does the kit with needles include?
A 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle in 80 cm; 6 mm (US 10) circular needles in 40 and 80 cm; 4.5 mm and 6 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern. The pattern lists only 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, but each sleeve changes to 6 mm after the cuff with only 40 to 48 stitches — too few to go round a 40 cm circular — so the kit adds 6 mm double-pointed needles.
