The body starts with 4 cm of K2, P2 rib and is decreased by 2 stitches at the sides 2 (2, 3, 3) times on the way to the underarm. The sleeves start with 4 cm of the same rib and are increased at the underarm every 7th round. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — 124 (144, 150, 166) stitches, less 8 at the joins in the three larger sizes — and four evenly spaced decrease rounds take it to 60 (68, 70, 74), and one more round to 44 (48, 48, 52). The collar is 10 (12, 14, 15) cm of K2, P2 rib, bound off loosely. Last, a letter or picture of your own, about 16 stitches wide and 26 rounds high, is sewn on the middle of the front in duplicate stitch with the Léttlopi used double, its top edge at the first decrease round of the yoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Friðrik Örn Hjaltested (pattern written by Hulda Hákonardóttir) — pattern from Lopi No. 31 (no. 10), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601371201589,"sku":"PAT-EN-ULFHILDUR","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi31-ulfhildur-1_22fdf145-438b-495a-99b5-f7895ffb3e01.jpg?v=1791013272","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/ulfhildur-childrens-initial-sweater-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
