The butterflies’ bodies and antennae are embroidered after the knitting, and the left shoulder closes with small buttons. It is the matching dress to the Fiðrildaslóð butterfly cardigan, which lies beside it in the photo. The pattern’s sun yellow (1411) is no longer made; this kit has 1703 mimosa in its place. The “golden yarn” the pattern uses to embroider the butterflies’ bodies has no code or amount and is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Léttlopi 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\u003eLéttlopi — 50 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · ages 2 (3 4 6 8) years\u003cbr\u003e\nA 9434 Crimson Red — 3 (4 4 5 5)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 0059 Black — 1 (1 1 1 1)\u003cbr\u003e\nC 1703 Mimosa (in place of 1411 sun yellow) — 1 (1 1 1 1)\u003cbr\u003e\nD 0051 White — 1 (1 1 1 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e2 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e3 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e4 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e6 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e8 yrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 cm\u003cbr\u003e21¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61 cm\u003cbr\u003e24″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67 cm\u003cbr\u003e26½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 cm\u003cbr\u003e28¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 cm\u003cbr\u003e30¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth at lower edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 cm\u003cbr\u003e30¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83 cm\u003cbr\u003e32¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89 cm\u003cbr\u003e35″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94 cm\u003cbr\u003e37″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 cm\u003cbr\u003e39¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 cm\u003cbr\u003e17¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 cm\u003cbr\u003e21¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 cm\u003cbr\u003e24¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm\u003cbr\u003e27½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18 sts × 24 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 4.5 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\u003e4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles, 40 and 60 cm — the skirt is knitted in the round, the front and back of the bodice back and forth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 3.5 mm crochet hook for the edging and buttonholes, 3–4 small buttons for the shoulder (the pattern gives no size), 6 stitch markers, a tapestry needle for the embroidery and the shoulder, and the “golden yarn” the pattern asks for to embroider the butterflies’ bodies (it gives no code or amount).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe skirt is knitted in the round from the hem up on the 60 cm circular. It starts with a deep border of single eyelet rib in white — P2, K3, with a small hole in each K3 rib every other round. Then comes stocking stitch in crimson red: the skirt is divided into six panels with markers and narrowed at each marker three times, then by 4 stitches more at the sides — from 140–180 stitches at the hem to 100–140 at the chest. Just under the chest comes an 11-round band of butterflies on black, with white upper wings and mimosa lower wings, never more than two colours in a round, and then 3 rounds in crimson red, which goes on for the bodice and the crochet edging. The front and back are knitted separately, back and forth, with shaped armholes and a round neck. The right shoulder is joined and the left one left open. Two rounds of single crochet edge the armholes and neck, with 3–4 buttonholes on the front of the left shoulder, and the butterflies’ bodies and antennae are embroidered last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 27 (no. 2), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600933683253,"sku":"KIT-EN-SKOTTA-RED","price":63.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600944431157,"sku":"KIT-EN-SKOTTA-RED-NDL","price":86.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi27-skotta-cover-1_3153d1e3-3c00-4496-bd6e-47b516952fbc.jpg?v=1790985497","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/skotta-red-childrens-sleeveless-butterfly-dress-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
