Why you'll love it

  • The KnightRiddari means the knight — a round-yoke pullover by Védís Jónsdóttir from Ístex’s Lopi 28.
  • Our own blue colourwayThe pattern shows the design in green and in brown. This kit is our blue version: lapis blue with air blue, fjord blue and white.
  • Rolled edgesHem and cuffs begin with four rounds of stocking stitch, and the neck ends with five, above and below a short air blue rib. The pattern lets these edges roll up.
  • A band to match the yokeA small pattern band sits just above the rib on the body and sleeves, and the main pattern fills the yoke.
  • Blue, or your choiceKeep the three blues and white, or swap any colour for another Léttlopi shade in the colour picker at no charge.

Good to know

Riddari — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?
Six sizes, with a chest of 89 (XS), 93 (S), 98 (M), 102 (L), 107 (XL) and 111 cm (XXL). The body is 40 to 46 cm to the underarm and the sleeves 47 to 53 cm.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for XXL: 9 balls of lapis blue, 3 of air blue and 1 each of fjord blue and white. For the main colour, XS uses 6, S and M use 7, and L and XL use 8; XS to M use 2 of the second colour.
Is this the colourway in the pattern?
No. The pattern shows green and brown versions; the blue is our own colourway. Lapis blue takes the place of colour A, air blue B, fjord blue C and white D, so you follow the chart exactly as written.
How are the rolled edges made?
At the hem and cuffs you knit 4 rounds of lapis blue before one round and a short K2, P2 rib in air blue. At the neck the rib comes first, then 5 rounds of lapis blue before binding off loosely. The pattern tells you to let these stocking-stitch edges roll.
What does the kit with needles contain?
Addi needles in the sizes the pattern names: 4.5 mm (US 7) and 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles, each in 40 and 80 cm, and 3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) double-pointed needles. The pattern also uses stitch markers; they are not in the kit.
