How it is knitted
The body is knitted in the round on 6 mm to the armholes, then the front and back are knitted back and forth. Columns of small bobbles run up the body, with four raised vertical strips — knitted separately from picked-up loops and stitched down — between two bobble bands. Horizontal tucks, made by knitting stitches together with the stitches six rows below, ring the sleeves and sit in a short block on the upper front by one armhole. The sleeve tops end in a saddle strap that tapers towards the neck; the shoulders are sewn, the sleeves set in, and a 12 cm K2, P2 rib collar is picked up on 5 mm. Hem and cuffs are K2, P2 rib.
Design: Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 24 (no. 10), Ístex.
