Good to know

Odin Lopapeysa — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Fifteen sizes: women’s XS to 5XL, chest 87 to 156 cm, and men’s S to 3XL, chest 89 to 127–132 cm. The pattern plans 5 to 13 cm of ease. Women’s XS and S use the same stitch counts, so they come out the same width although the size table gives XS an 87 cm chest and S 89 cm; XS has shorter sleeves and two fewer yoke rounds. For women’s 4XL and 5XL the table gives 145 and 156 cm, but their 272 and 288 cast-on stitches come to about 151 and 160 cm at the pattern’s gauge (our calculation).
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for women’s 5XL, the largest size: 16 balls of Lapis blue, 4 of white and 4 of black heather — 24 balls. Women’s XS uses 8, women’s L and XL 12, men’s 3XL 19.
Are the lengths in the size table the ones I knit to?
Not quite — the pattern gives them twice. The knitting instructions say to knit the body to 38–45.5 cm (women) or 41–49 cm (men) from the cast-on edge, and the sleeves 1 to 3 cm longer than the table in most sizes. Measure against a sweater that fits you and knit to the length you want.
Are there misprints?
One in the knitting instructions: for men’s S the neckband round says to decrease 16 stitches, but the yoke ends with 96 stitches and the neckband needs 74 — decrease 22.
Is this the colourway in the photos?
Yes — the man in the photos wears the blue version, Lapis blue with white and black heather. The pattern also has a black and grey version, sold as its own kit.
Is this the Odin sweater sold ready-made in the shop?
No — that hand-knitted Odin sweater is a different design. This kit is Olga Begak’s Odin Lopapeysa.
What does the kit with needles include?
3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 80 cm — the pattern names circular needles in these two sizes without lengths, and recommends the magic-loop method for the sleeves — ADDI. Stitch markers, stitch holders and a darning needle are not included.
