The body is a single rectangle with two armhole slits, so it falls into a wide shawl collar and long points at the front.

Two armhole slits are made by casting off 40 stitches and casting them on again on the next row, 44 cm apart. The sleeves are ribbed in the round from the cuff, increased under the arm, and sewn into the slits. Worn, the rectangle folds into a wide shawl collar with long points at the front. Buttons are sewn along the lower edges and up the sleeves as decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 19), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"Without needles","offer_id":67600437051445,"sku":"KIT-EN-THEL-DARK","price":113.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With needles","offer_id":67600468901941,"sku":"KIT-EN-THEL-DARK-NDL","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi25-thel-1_723e6b17-63f1-4d51-9f12-3dd9634b508c.jpg?v=1790977542","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/thel-dark-brown-ribbed-wrap-cardigan-knitting-kit","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
