Why you'll love it
- Apricot and black heatherA warm apricot body with the Riddari yoke in black heather, white and grey heather — a colourway made up for this kit and pictured on the last page of the pattern.
- Edges that rollHem, cuffs and neck have a few rounds of apricot stocking stitch beside a black heather rib, and the pattern tells you to let them roll up.
- A band to match the yokeA small patterned band in black heather, white and grey sits just above the hem and cuff ribs.
- Apricot, or your choiceThe pattern’s own colourways are green and brown. Keep the apricot, or swap any of the four colours for another Léttlopi shade in the colour picker at no charge.
