Öngull — fishhook. A men’s pullover from Ístex’s Lopi 34, patterned all over in six Álafosslopi shades: stripes of white, oatmeal, light beige, light ash and ash heather with bands of small black-sheep arrows and a black band edged with little hooks, repeated from the rib up over the body, the sleeves and the raglan yoke, and a tall black-sheep rib collar. The original pattern is by Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir; Védís Jónsdóttir redesigned it for Lopi 34. Sizes XS to XL; all six colours are still made by Ístex.

How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up, and the pattern suggests starting with the sleeves: 36 (36, 38, 38, 40) stitches in black sheep on 5 mm double-pointed needles, 5 cm of K1, P1 rib, then 42 stitches on 6 mm and the chart from its first round, increased at the underarm to 48 (50, 52, 54, 56). The body is cast on with 118 (124, 130, 136, 142) stitches, knitted in the same rib for 5 cm, increased to 126 (132, 138, 144, 150) and started at round 14 of the 29-round chart, so body and sleeves reach the underarm on the same round. They are joined for a raglan yoke of 186 (196, 206, 216, 226) stitches with a marker at each of the four joins; the chart carries on in each section, lined up with the stitches below, and raglan decreases beside the markers — set out round by round in the pattern — take it to 66 (64, 66, 72, 70) stitches. The collar is 12 (12, 14, 14, 16) cm of K1, P1 rib in black sheep on 5 mm, bound off loosely in rib, and the underarm stitches are grafted.
