{"product_id":"utjord-shaded-plotulopi-yoke-sweater-knitting-pattern","title":"Útjörð — Shaded Plötulopi Yoke Sweater Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eVédís Jónsdóttir’s round-yoke pullover from Ístex’s Lopi 27 is knitted in Plötulopi with two strands held together, and it has no stranded colour pattern: one strand is changed at a time, so the colour moves up the sweater in bands — in the photos darkest at the hem and lightest near the neck. Twisted rib finishes the hem, cuffs and neck. Two colour versions — Moss (marsh heather with sheep black, dark brown, spruce green, beige and light beige) and Blue (winter blue with midnight blue, sea green, marsh heather, denim and faded denim) — in sizes S to XXL, with sleeve lengths for men and for women. Three of the blue colours — sea green (1422), denim (1052) and faded denim (1053) — are no longer made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo colour versions — Moss and Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes S, M, L, XL and XXL, with men’s and women’s sleeve lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe yoke chart, with a key for both versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The body is cast on with A+B, 128 (136, 144, 152, 160) stitches on the 4½ mm circular, and knitted in twisted rib — knit 1 through the back loop, purl 1 — for 4 cm; then on 5½ mm in stocking stitch: A+B to 15 (15, 16, 16, 16) cm from the cast-on edge, A+C for 14 (14, 14, 15, 15) cm, A+D for 12 (13, 13, 13, 14) cm and A+E for 1 cm, to 42 (43, 44, 45, 46) cm. The sleeves are cast on with A+B, 36 (38, 38, 40, 42) stitches on 4½ mm double-pointed needles, with the same 4 cm of twisted rib; on 5½ mm, 2 stitches are increased at the underarm in the first round and then every 12th (12th, 11th, 11th, 11th) round for a man’s sleeve or every 11th (11th, 10th, 10th, 10th) round for a woman’s, 7 (7, 8, 8, 8) times in all, to 50 (52, 54, 56, 58), with the colour bands at lengths given for each. Body and sleeves are joined with A+E for the round yoke, 200 (208, 216, 224, 232) stitches, and the 45-round yoke chart — rounds 1–4 in A+E, then E+E, E+F and F+F — with five decrease rounds takes it to 75 (78, 81, 84, 87); sizes S to XL leave out marked rounds. The neckband is knitted with E+E on 4½ mm: one round decreasing 15 (16, 17, 18, 19) stitches, 4 cm of twisted rib, then 6 rounds of stocking stitch with a single strand of E, bound off loosely. The underarms are grafted, and the sweater is rinsed by hand and laid flat to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 27 (no. 4), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67602126536757,"sku":"PAT-EN-UTJORD","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/L27_04_Utjord_2-585x798_48e88bdd-4a5d-4f22-ad05-8fac1587765c.jpg?v=1791027521","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/utjord-shaded-plotulopi-yoke-sweater-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
