Why you'll love it

A heart that takes flightVængjatök means wingbeats. The pattern tells of bright nights by the fjord and a love dressed in mild moss green, who has started to turn grey.
Mild moss greensA frostbite green body with a yoke in light beige, oatmeal and moor — the Green colourway of the pattern, which also comes in greys.
Edges that rollHem, cuffs and neck each have a few rounds of stocking stitch in moor beside a short rib, and the pattern tells you to let them roll up.
Sleeves for her or for himThe body is the same for everyone; the sleeves have women’s and men’s lengths, the men’s 4 cm longer.
Green, or your choiceKeep the frostbite and moor, or swap any of the four colours for another Léttlopi shade in the colour picker, at no charge.

Good to know

Wingbeats Green Lettlopi sweater — your questions, answered

Which size should I knit?

Five sizes, S to 2XL, with a chest of 89, 98, 107, 115 and 124 cm (35 to 48¾″) all round and a body of 41 to 45 cm to the underarm. Choose the one nearest a sweater that fits you, then the women’s or men’s sleeve length.

How long are the sleeves?

To the underarm, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49 cm for women and 49, 50, 51, 52 and 53 cm for men. The pattern gives separate increase rates for each, so both come out right.

What are the rolled edges?

The hem and cuffs are cast on in moor and knitted for 4 rounds of stocking stitch before a short 1×1 rib in frostbite; the neck finishes with 5 rounds of moor after its rib. The pattern says to let these stocking-stitch edges roll up.

Will I have yarn left over?

The kit holds the 2XL amounts: 10 frostbite, 2 light beige, 2 oatmeal and 3 moor. Size S uses 7 frostbite, 1 light beige, 1 oatmeal and 2 moor; size M uses 8 frostbite and 2 moor.

What does the kit with needles include?

ADDI 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needles in 40 and 80 cm, 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles in 40 and 80 cm, and 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm double-pointed needles — the sizes the pattern names.
