A navy border with small red flowers sits above the hem and cuffs and round the neck. Three of the pattern’s four colours are no longer made in Álafosslopi: scarlet (0078), the main colour, apple green (9212) and goldenrod (9213). This kit has 0047 happy red, 9983 apple green and 9964 golden heather in their place; navy (0118) is unchanged. The red is clearly darker than in the sunlit photo, and golden heather is a deeper, more mustard gold than the bright yellow 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 · to fit 110 (122 134 140 152) cm tall\u003cbr\u003e\nM 0047 Happy Red (in place of 0078 scarlet) — 3 (3 4 4 5)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0118 Navy — 2 (2 3 3 3)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 9983 Apple Green (in place of 9212 apple green) — 1 (1 1 1 1)\u003cbr\u003e\nC 9964 Golden Heather (in place of 9213 goldenrod) — 1 (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\u003e110\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e122\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e134\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e140\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e152\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTo fit height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 cm\u003cbr\u003e43¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e122 cm\u003cbr\u003e48″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e134 cm\u003cbr\u003e52¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140 cm\u003cbr\u003e55″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e152 cm\u003cbr\u003e59¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79 cm\u003cbr\u003e31″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 cm\u003cbr\u003e33½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91 cm\u003cbr\u003e35¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94 cm\u003cbr\u003e37″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 cm\u003cbr\u003e38¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to centre front neck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 cm\u003cbr\u003e16½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46 cm\u003cbr\u003e18″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54 cm\u003cbr\u003e21¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 cm\u003cbr\u003e22¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve length to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 cm\u003cbr\u003e9¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 cm\u003cbr\u003e11½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 cm\u003cbr\u003e13″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 cm\u003cbr\u003e13¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 cm\u003cbr\u003e15″\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) and 6 mm (US 10) circular needles, 60 cm\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm and 6 mm double-pointed needles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 buttons (5 for the 110 cm size; the pattern gives no size), a sewing machine and thread for the steek, stitch holders, and a tapestry needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe welt is K1, P1 rib in navy, knitted back and forth on 4.5 mm with the first buttonhole, and 6 stitches at each front edge wait on holders for the bands. The body is then knitted in the round on 6 mm, with a purl stitch at each side of the centre front: a 7-round navy border with small red flowers with gold centres, then happy red to the underarm. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles from a navy cuff, with the same border. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 35-round chart with four decrease rounds; the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds, and the top of the yoke moves onto the double-pointed needles. Two rows of machine stitching go into each purl stitch up the front, and the front is cut open between them once the button band is knitted. The navy front bands are knitted from the held stitches with a stocking-stitch facing that folds over the cut edge, and sewn on. The neckband is the same small navy band with red flowers, knitted back and forth and folded to the inside, with the top buttonhole in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Astrid Ellingsen, adapted by Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 18 (no. 31), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600928440373,"sku":"KIT-EN-L18-31","price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600944169013,"sku":"KIT-EN-L18-31-NDL","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi18-31-cover-1_357c5f9e-25c6-4df3-9c06-dafab9ae330e.jpg?v=1790985105","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-18-no-31-childrens-red-yoke-cardigan-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
