Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir’s cushion from Ístex’s Lopi 30: a square Álafosslopi cover with a front of interlocking cables that looks woven, a plain moss-stitch back, a zip in the top edge, and a braided cord round the edges. The pattern’s only colour, fairy green (9984), is no longer made, and no Álafosslopi made today has its pale greenish oat shade; this kit has 9973 wheat heather in its place, so your cushion will be light beige, without the green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — the 3 balls the pattern calls for, in wheat heather in place of the discontinued fairy green\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\u003eÁlafosslopi — 100 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · one size\u003cbr\u003e\nA 9973 Wheat Heather (in place of 9984 fairy green) — 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne size, for a 40 × 40 cm (15¾″ square) cushion insert.

The front is 65 stitches of cables from an 8-row chart: a row of 6-stitch cables (3 over 3) is crossed one way, and four rows later the next row of cables is crossed the other way, shifted by 3 stitches — so the whole front looks woven. The back is 41 stitches of moss stitch. Both pieces are knitted to 37 cm, rinsed, and smoothed to 37 × 37 cm to dry. They are sewn together on the right side at the sides and bottom, a 30 cm zip goes in the middle of the top edge, and a braided cord is sewn on over the edges all the way round, starting and ending at the zip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 30 (no. 13), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600577036341,"sku":"KIT-EN-THARI","price":48.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600605806645,"sku":"KIT-EN-THARI-NDL","price":63.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi30-thari-1_bd430098-f4ab-4406-a89d-93297036dc7f.jpg?v=1790975498","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/thari-basketweave-cable-cushion-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
