The pattern gives sleeve lengths for women and for men. The pattern’s monet (9735) is no longer made; this kit has 1234 blue tweed in its place. It is a similar mid-blue, a shade darker, and its flecks are white, where monet had small red, pink and turquoise flecks.\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 XS (M XL)\u003cbr\u003e\nM 1234 Blue Tweed (in place of 9735 monet) — 6 (7 8)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0118 Navy — 2 (3 3)\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\u003eXS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eM\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\u003e97 cm\u003cbr\u003e38¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e111 cm\u003cbr\u003e43¾″\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\u003e62 cm\u003cbr\u003e24½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 cm\u003cbr\u003e26¾″\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\u003e41 cm\u003cbr\u003e16¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 cm\u003cbr\u003e17″\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\u003e46 cm\u003cbr\u003e18″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 cm\u003cbr\u003e19″\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\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\u003eStitch holders for the underarm stitches.\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 cast on in navy and purled for 2 rounds, then knitted in blue K1, P1 rib on 4.5 mm, followed on 6 mm by a 10-round navy border of diagonal lines and small trees. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 43-round chart of large pointed shapes, zigzags and small diamonds in navy, with six decrease rounds; in size XL a few stitches are also decreased as the pieces are joined. The neckband is 7 rounds of blue K1, P1 rib, then in navy 1 round knit, 3 rounds purl and 9 rounds of rib. It is folded in half to the inside, so the navy purl rounds make the top edge, and the underarm stitches are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Arnþrúður Ösp Karlsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 18 (no. 23), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600601808949,"sku":"KIT-EN-L18-23","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600607739957,"sku":"KIT-EN-L18-23-NDL","price":191.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi18-22-3_c7575532-93cd-4709-9898-2bc49dd6303d.jpg?v=1790989332","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-18-no-23-blue-tweed-yoke-sweater-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
