How it is knitted
The sleeves are knitted in the round from seed-stitch cuffs. The body is knitted back and forth from a seed-stitch edge, with two decreases at each side, up to the underarms; then the sleeves are joined and the yoke is knitted back and forth from a chart. Neckband and front bands are seed stitch, with five buttonholes.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 42 (no. 12), Ístex.
