How it is knitted
Body and sleeves start with one round of acorn rib and three of frostbite, then a small border pattern, and are knitted in the round up to the underarms; they are joined and the yoke is knitted in the round from a chart. The neckband is rib — three rounds of frostbite and five of acorn.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 39 (no. 4), Ístex.
