Good to know

Von — your questions, answered

Can I still buy the colours in the photos?
Yes. Both are still made by Ístex. The short sweater is printed in Léttlopi 0005 — the pattern calls it “black”; our shop calls it black heather — and the long sweater in 9423 lagoon, which our shop calls lagoon heather, so go by the colour numbers. The pattern gives amounts for the short sweater in 0005 and the long sweater in 9423 only.
Which size should I knit?
Four sizes, 36 to 42, with a chest of 98, 100, 102 and 104 cm all the way round. By our check that is the body’s 177 (180, 183, 186) stitches at the pattern’s gauge, to within 1 cm. The short sweater is 59 to 65 cm long, measured to the shoulder, and the long one 84 to 90 cm; the sleeves are 45 to 47 cm to the underarm. Compare with a sweater that fits well before you choose.
How much yarn do I need?
Léttlopi in 50 g balls, one colour: the short sweater takes 11 (11, 12, 12) balls of 0005 and the long sweater 13 (13, 14, 14) balls of 9423 lagoon.
How is the rib made?
The hem and the cuffs are cast on with twice the stitches of the stocking stitch above them and knitted in knit 3, purl 3 for 18 rounds. Then in one round you knit the last stitch of each knit column together with the first purl stitch beside it — now it is knit 3, purl 2 — and work 18 rounds of that rib; the same again gives knit 3, purl 1 for 18 rounds, and a last round closes the purl columns, leaving half the stitches for the stocking stitch.
Is anything unclear in the pattern?
A few small things, by our count. In the yoke, 12 decreases a round cannot land exactly on 84 (84, 88, 92) stitches, and the pattern does not say how to even it out. The back’s stitch count is printed “(78) 80 (79) 81” — by our count the back is 78 (80, 79, 81) stitches, which matches the printed totals. The list leaves out markers, an extra needle or waste yarn for the underarm stitches and a tapestry needle.
Is everything in the photos part of the pattern?
The sweaters are. The black tights or leggings with the long lagoon sweater, and the red bag with the bamboo handle and the dark jeans with the short black one, are not.
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 of the long sweater; a page with a small photo of the short black sweater, the sizes, materials, gauge, notes and all the instructions; a blank page; and Ístex’s back cover.
