{"product_id":"strax-brown-bulky-sweater-knitting-kit","title":"Strax — Brown Bulky Sweater Knitting Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrax — at once. Védís Jónsdóttir’s plain pullover from Ístex’s Lopi 25, in chocolate Jöklalopi (sold here as Bulky Lopi): stocking stitch on 9 mm needles, ribbed hem and cuffs, set-in sleeves, and a ribbed polo collar with a contrast tip. The pattern’s carrot red (1418), used only for the last 3 rounds of the collar, is no longer made — Jöklalopi now comes only in natural shades, so there is no red to replace it. This kit has 0085 oatmeal heather in its place: a warm, light beige tip instead of a red one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Jöklalopi 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\u003eJöklalopi — 100 g hanks\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes S (M L)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 0867 Chocolate — 9 (9 10)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 0085 Oatmeal Heather (in place of 1418 carrot red) — 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\u003eS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eM\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96 cm\u003cbr\u003e37¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105 cm\u003cbr\u003e41¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e113 cm\u003cbr\u003e44½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength from shoulder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 cm\u003cbr\u003e24¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 cm\u003cbr\u003e25½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67 cm\u003cbr\u003e26½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41 cm\u003cbr\u003e16¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 cm\u003cbr\u003e16½″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 cm\u003cbr\u003e17″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve length to underarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¼″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 cm\u003cbr\u003e19¾″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 cm\u003cbr\u003e20″\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9.5 sts × 13 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 9 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\u003e9 mm (US 13) circular needles, 40 and 80 cm — the pattern doesn’t say where the 40 cm is used; we read it as for the upper sleeves\u003cbr\u003e8 mm (US 11) circular needle, 80 cm, for the hem rib\u003cbr\u003e8 mm (US 11) and 9 mm (US 13) double-pointed needles for the cuffs, sleeves and collar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA tapestry needle for the shoulder seams and sewing in the sleeves, and a stitch holder (or spare needle) for the front while you knit the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is knitted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody and sleeves are knitted in the round from the bottom up: 5 cm of K1, P1 rib on 8 mm, then stocking stitch on 9 mm. At the underarms the body is divided, and the back and front are knitted back and forth, with armhole decreases, stepped shoulders and a shaped front neck. The sleeves are increased one stitch at the start of every 4th round, and their tops are knitted back and forth into a shaped cap. The shoulders are seamed, 40 (40) 42 stitches are picked up round the neck for a polo collar of K1, P1 rib on 8 mm — 8 rounds of chocolate and 3 of oatmeal heather — and the sleeves are sewn into the armholes.
