It starts as a close rib at the neck in three strands of Plötulopi, then the strands are doubled and tripled and the needles grow to 12 mm, so the collar flares out over the shoulders; five buttons close the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Plötulopi 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\u003ePlötulopi — 100 g plates\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes S\/M (L\/XL) — the pattern gives 3 plates for both\u003cbr\u003e\nA 1428 Plum Heather — 3 (3)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo sizes, S\/M and L\/XL.

Then 10 rows of 2×2 rib in 6-ply on 10 mm and 10 rows in 9-ply on 12 mm — the stitch count stays the same, so the thicker yarn and bigger needles make the collar flare over the shoulders. It is bound off very loosely in rib. A row of single crochet in 3-ply goes up each front edge, with five chain loops for the buttons on the right edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 28 (no. 18), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67598882111541,"sku":"KIT-EN-RU","price":44.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67598902526005,"sku":"KIT-EN-RU-NDL","price":102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi28-ru-1_1222e9bc-7737-470a-9070-080c488af9e0.jpg?v=1790942656","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/ru-plotulopi-shoulder-collar-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
