How it is knitted
The hems and cuffs are 2×2 rib knitted back and forth with contrast stripes. The body is then joined in the round, with two purled stitches at centre front for a steek, knitted to the colour band from the chart, and worked back and forth from there to shape the V-neck. The sleeves are knitted in the round, and the yoke is knitted back and forth with raglan decreases. The steek is machine-sewn and cut, and a 2×2 rib band with four buttonholes is picked up around the fronts and neck.
Design: Rebekka Kristjánsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 37 (no. 6), Ístex.
