Good to know

U — your questions, answered

Can I still buy the colour in the photo?
No. Pond heather (9736), the only colour in the pattern, is no longer made by Ístex. Our kit for this pattern uses teal heather (9967) for the whole tunic — a little greener than the dark petrol blue in the photo.
Which size should I knit?
Four sizes — S to XL — with a chest of 86, 92, 98 and 104 cm and a length of 78, 79, 81 and 82 cm. The chest matches the stitch count above the side decreases, 112 to 136 stitches at 13 stitches to 10 cm (our check), so choose by the measurement all the way round that you want. The hem is a little wider: 120 to 144 stitches, about 92 to 111 cm round (our calculation).
How much yarn do I need?
Álafosslopi in 100 g balls, one colour: 5 balls for S, 6 for M and L, 7 for XL.
How is the cable knitted?
From a 27-row chart over 18 stitches at the centre front: 3 purl stitches, a 12-stitch braid and 3 purl stitches. Every 4th row 4 stitches cross over 4 on a cable needle, alternately on the right and the left of the braid, which plaits it. The chart marks an 8-row repeat — rows 9 to 16 for S and M, rows 5 to 12 for L and XL — worked 8 (8, 9, 9) times or until the piece measures 50 (50, 52, 52) cm. Then the cable is ended with decreases across the panel.
Is anything unclear in the pattern?
Two places. The cable: work it until the piece measures 50 (50, 52, 52) cm — after the chart rows below the repeat and 8 (8, 9, 9) repeats, the piece measures only about 46 (46, 48, 48) cm at the printed row gauge (our calculation). The neck: “Dec 1 st at both sides of neck edge and then in every 10th row, total 3 times” — the shoulders only come out at the printed 9 (11, 12, 13) stitches if you decrease once and then 3 more times, 4 in all (our calculation). Go by the shoulder count.
Is the bag in the photo part of the pattern?
No. The pink cabled bag uses the same cable — the chart has a note “Bag: rep 4 times” — but the bag’s instructions and yarn are not in this leaflet, so ignore the note. The black top under the tunic, the plaid skirt, the tights and the bracelet are not part of the pattern either.
How do I get the pattern?
The PDF is emailed to you right after purchase. Nothing is posted. It is in English and has 4 pages: the cover photo, one page with the materials, sizes, gauge, all the instructions and the cable chart, a blank page and Ístex’s back cover.
