Védís Jónsdóttir’s round-yoke sweater for a 46 cm (18-inch) doll, from Ístex’s Lopi 29, in its red version: crimson red Léttlopi with white bands of little roses and green dots at the hem and round the yoke, and white picot edges at the hem, cuffs and neck. The yoke opens at the back and closes with two small buttons. A children’s cardigan with the same roses, Knúpur, is also sold as a kit. The pattern’s light red (1408), the colour of the roses, is no longer made; this kit has 1412 pink heather in its place, so the roses will be pink rather than the coral red in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Léttlopi wool yarn — one 50 g ball of each of the four colours, as the pattern lists (one size)\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\u003eLéttlopi — 50 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · one size, for a 46 cm (18″) doll\u003cbr\u003e\nA 9434 Crimson Red — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nB 0051 White — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nC 1406 Spring Green Heather — 1\u003cbr\u003e\nD 1412 Pink Heather (in place of 1408 light red) — 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne size, for a 46 cm (18″) doll, as the pattern says: chest 39 cm (15¼″), length 15 cm (6″) from the picot edge to the underarm, sleeves 11 cm (4¼″) to the underarm.

The body starts with 7 rounds of white stocking stitch on the 4 mm circular, a picot round (K2tog, yarn over all round) and one more round; this hem is folded to the inside at the picot round at the end, which makes a small scalloped edge. On 4.5 mm comes an 11-round band of pink heather roses and green dots on white (chart 1), then crimson red to 15 cm. The sleeves are knitted the same way on double-pointed needles, with a white picot cuff and a 3-round edge in pink heather and crimson red (chart 2), and are increased to 23 stitches. Body and sleeves are joined, 96 stitches, for the round yoke: a 12-round chart of pink heather roses and green dots on white (chart 3), decreased to 33 stitches. After round 9 the yoke is knitted back and forth, so it opens at the left back for the doll’s head. The neckband is white stocking stitch with a picot row, knitted back and forth and folded to the inside. Two small button loops close the opening. The sweater is rinsed by hand and laid flat to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 29 (no. 5), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600935747637,"sku":"KIT-EN-ROS-RED","price":41.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600944562229,"sku":"KIT-EN-ROS-RED-NDL","price":87.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi29-ros-1_a9cb3dc1-107e-444f-a6ba-cc821d10cafc.jpg?v=1790985690","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/ros-red-doll-sweater-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
