What's in the kit
Védís Jónsdóttir’s Skjól — shelter — from Ístex’s Lopi 25: a ribbed crossover wrap in bottle green Léttlopi. A long scarf crosses over the chest and is sewn to a small back panel, so it sits like a little vest over a top or shirt.

How it is knitted
Two pieces in K2, P2 rib, knitted back and forth: a long scarf, slanted at both ends by increasing and decreasing along one edge, and a small rectangular back panel. The scarf goes round the neck and crosses over the chest, and its ends are sewn to the sides of the back panel, which sits across the lower back in the photo; the upper back stays open, so there are no sleeves or armholes.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 16), Ístex.
