A men’s zip cardigan from Ístex’s Lopi 24, based on an old Álafoss pattern in a new version by Védís Jónsdóttir. It is knitted flat in pieces, all in moss stitch, with a high folded rib collar and pockets on the inside. The pattern’s jungle green (9980) is no longer made; this kit has 9966 cypress green heather in its place. In the photo the old yarn knits up in olive and near-black bands; as the pattern lists only one colour, we read it as a multi-toned yarn. No yarn in today’s range knits up in bands like this, so this kit makes a cardigan in one even, heathered dark green, without the bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — yarn for the largest size is included, so every size is covered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÁlafosslopi — 100 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes 50 (52 54)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 9966 Cypress Green Heather (in place of 9980 jungle green) — 11 (12 12)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 50, 52 and 54 (European men’s sizes)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e50\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e52\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e54\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 cm\u003cbr\u003e39¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e107 cm\u003cbr\u003e42¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e114 cm\u003cbr\u003e45″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to shoulder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 cm\u003cbr\u003e25½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67 cm\u003cbr\u003e26½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69 cm\u003cbr\u003e27¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve length to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 cm\u003cbr\u003e20″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52 cm\u003cbr\u003e20½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53 cm\u003cbr\u003e20¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 sts × 24 rows = 10 cm (4″) in moss stitch on 6 mm needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles used in the pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e (included when you choose the kit with needles)\u003cbr\u003e6 mm (US 10) circular needle, used back and forth for all the pieces\u003cbr\u003e4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle for the collar\u003cbr\u003eThe pattern gives no needle lengths — the kit with needles has 80 cm for both\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn open-ended (separating) zip, 65 cm long, and sewing thread to sew it in by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery piece is knitted flat, back and forth, in moss stitch (called seed stitch in the US) on 6 mm needles: the back, two fronts, two sleeves and the pocket linings. There is no rib at the hem or cuffs. The sleeve cap is shaped differently on each side. The pieces are sewn together from the right side, and the pocket linings are sewn to the inside of the fronts, with the openings left in the side seams. The collar is 75 stitches picked up on 4.5 mm needles: 6 cm of K1, P1 rib, a purl row for the fold, and 6 cm more. The zip is sewn in by hand, twice, and the collar is folded to the inside over the top of the zip and sewn down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBased on old pattern from Álafoss.
