Good to know

Teikn — your questions, answered

Why are two colours different from the pattern?
Sun yellow (1411) and lilac (1413) are no longer made. This kit has mimosa (1703) in place of sun yellow — colour C: two rows of yellow figures in the yoke and the yellow rounds of the hem band — and milkyway (1702) in place of lilac — colour E: the row of lilac figures in the middle of the yoke, the small figures near the neck and the top rounds of the hem band. Mimosa is a warm golden yellow, stronger and a little darker than the soft yellow in the photo. Milkyway is about as light as the lilac but bluer and greyer, so those figures will look pale lavender-blue rather than lilac. You can choose other shades in the colour picker.
Is this the same as your Teikn sweater?
No. Our Teikn children’s sweater is a different pattern, from Lopi 34: a long-sleeved Álafosslopi sweater for ages 6 to 14. This Teikn, from Lopi 28, is a little girl’s sleeveless dress in Léttlopi for ages 2 to 5. Both carry Védís Jónsdóttir’s name, but they are separate designs with their own charts.
Which size should I knit?
Four sizes, 2 to 5 years, with a chest of 58, 62, 66 and 71 cm and 30 to 42 cm from the hem to the underarm. The dress is A-line: by our calculation it is about 76 to 93 cm round at the hem. In both photos it is worn over a long-sleeved top.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for 5 years: 4 balls of white and one each of spring green heather, mimosa, pink heather and milkyway — 8 balls. Sizes 2 and 3 use 3 balls of white (7 in all). The four figure colours are used only in the yoke and the hem band, so expect most of each of those balls to be left over (our estimate). The pattern calls spring green heather and pink heather simply spring green and pink.
How are the cap sleeves made?
There are no sleeves to knit separately. At the underarms the stitches are bound off, and in the next round 35 (36) 37 (38) new stitches are cast on over each shoulder. These are knitted in moss stitch for 3 rounds while the front and back go on in stocking stitch, and they form the little cap sleeves; then 3 stitches are increased over each shoulder and the yoke chart begins.
How does it close at the neck?
After the first neckband round, the last 3 rows are knitted back and forth, which leaves a short opening where the round begins — at the left side of the back (our reading). A small chain loop, crocheted with the 3.5 mm hook on the left side of the neckband, and one little button close it. The button and the hook are not included; the pattern gives no button size.
Is anything unclear in the pattern?
A few small things. Chart 1 (the hem band) has nine rounds, but one row has no number — the labels go 1, 2, 3, then “5 skip rnd size 2 (3) 4”. By our reading round 4 is the round of single dots just above round 3, and round 5 — left out in sizes 2, 3 and 4 — is the one plain round in the middle of the band. The shoulder increase, “*K 8 (9) 10 (10) sts, inc 1 st, k 9 (9) 9 (9) sts, inc 1 st, k 9 (9) 9 (9) sts, inc 1 st*”, covers only 26 to 28 of the 35 to 38 shoulder stitches; knit the rest plain (our reading) — the stitch count, 168 (176) 184 (192), comes out right. The neckband is moss stitch but says “Bind off in rib”: bind off in pattern. Markers are listed but no step uses them — they help to space the decreases evenly (our suggestion).
Is the red dress in the photos the same pattern?
Yes — the same sizes, charts and needles, in red with every figure in white. It is sold as a separate kit; its light red is no longer made, so that kit has crimson red in its place.
What does the kit with needles include?
4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 40 and 60 cm; a 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle in 60 cm; 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern. The button, the 3.5 mm crochet hook and the markers are not included.
