Good to know

Þíða — your questions, answered

Why is one colour different from the pattern?
Sun yellow (1411) is no longer made. This kit has mimosa (1703) in its place — colour F, the band of yellow motifs near the top of the yoke. It is one ball, used for nothing else. Mimosa is a golden, slightly mustard yellow — clearly deeper and stronger than the light yellow in the photo. You can choose another shade in the colour picker.
Which size should I knit?
Four sizes — 2, 4, 6 and 8 years — with a chest of 63, 70, 76 and 83 cm, and 24, 27, 30 and 33 cm from the hem to the underarm. The sleeves are the same length to the underarm: 24 to 33 cm.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds the amount for 8 years: 6 balls of crimson red and one each of black, glacier blue, spring green heather, pink heather and mimosa — 11 balls. Sizes 2 and 4 use 9 balls, size 6 uses 10. The five yoke colours are one ball each in every size, so expect some of each left over (our estimate). The pattern calls spring green heather and pink heather simply “spring green” and “pink”.
What are the rolled edges?
Each cuff starts, and the neckband ends, with 5 rounds of stocking stitch in pink heather (colour E). Stocking stitch curls by itself, so these rounds roll over into a soft edge beside the rib, as in the photo. The body hem is plain K1, P1 rib.
Is anything missing from the pattern?
Only small things. In the yoke the pattern says to change to shorter needles when the round gets tight, but it lists no shorter circular. The 4.5 mm double-pointed needles in the list can take over for the last rounds (our reading); a 4.5 mm circular in 40 cm makes the middle of the yoke easier if you have one (our suggestion — it is not in the kit). The materials list also leaves out stitch holders (or scrap yarn) for the underarm stitches and a tapestry needle for grafting them. In the chart, “skip rnd size …” means leave that round out in your size. We checked the stitch counts — body, sleeve increases, the yoke join, all four decrease rounds and the neckband — and found no mistakes (our check).
Which version is in the photo?
The girl wears this red version, knitted in the original colours. The boy wears the blue version, which is sold as a separate kit. The jeans, boots and dog are not part of the pattern.
What does the kit with needles include?
3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 60 cm; 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern. The pattern gives the circulars as 60–70 cm. Stitch holders and a tapestry needle are not included.
