Design 9 is black heather with light gray and white: a white zigzag at the base of the yoke, small grey motifs and long white and grey stripes to the neck, a matching border above the light gray rib at the hem and cuffs, and a light gray neckband folded in half. Design 10 is pond heather with light forest heather and midnight blue, with striped rib and a striped neckband folded at a purl round.

The body is cast on with 118 (124, 130, 136, 140) stitches on the 4.5 mm circular: Design 9 in light gray for 6 (6, 6, 7, 7) cm of K1, P1 rib, Design 10 in pond heather for K1, P1 rib in stripes — 4 rounds of pond heather, 3 of midnight blue and 3 of light forest heather. On 6 mm one round is knitted in colour A with 14 (14, 14, 14, 16) stitches increased, to 132 (138, 144, 150, 156); a 9-round border from chart 1 follows, then the main colour to 38 (40, 42, 43, 44) cm. The sleeves are cast on with 28 (30, 30, 32, 32) stitches on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles and ribbed like the body, increased to 42 (42, 42, 48, 48) in a round of colour A on 6 mm, given the same border with 1 stitch increased at each end of its last round, then increased at both ends of every 8th round for women or every 9th for men, 4 (5, 6, 5, 6) times, to 52 (54, 56, 60, 62). Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — 204 (210, 216, 234, 240) stitches — and a 43-round chart with four decrease rounds takes it down to 68 (70, 72, 78, 80); sizes XS to L leave out marked rounds — 36 (38, 39, 41, 43) rounds in all. The neckband is K1, P1 rib on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, decreased to 54 (54, 54, 56, 58) stitches on its first round: for Design 9, 8 cm in light gray, folded in half to the inside; for Design 10, 2 rounds of light forest heather, 3 of midnight blue and 5 of pond heather, a purl round in pond heather as the foldline and 10 more rounds of rib, folded back along the foldline. Both are cast off loosely and slip-stitched, and the underarm stitches are grafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Anna Árnadóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 18 (nos. 9 and 10), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67602570149941,"sku":"PAT-EN-L18-09-10","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/Herdubreid_wool_sweater_knitting_kit_18_09_d66b602d-6999-47a0-b56a-7e7757a48fda.jpg?v=1791035774","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/lopi-18-no-9-10-round-yoke-sweater-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
