Endurtaka umferð 1 þangað til þú hefur prjónað 44 cm.


Ermar:

Fitja upp 48 lykkjur í gráu á 4 mm prjóna,  tengið í hring og prjónið  * 2 sléttar,  2 brugðnar*  - endurtaka þar til náð hefur verið 7 cm (prjónið í hring). Skipta yfir á  5 mm  prjóna.

Axlir

Þú ert nú með 308 lykkjur (68 lykkjur hver ermi, 172 lykkjur bolur)


Prjónaðu 31 lykkju ( ef þú villt að rendurnar verði í miðjunni, prjónaðu þá 43 lykkjur)
Settu 12 lykkjur á hjálparband - tengdu fyrstu ermina - prjónaðu restina af erminni
Prjónaðu 64 lykkjur
Settu 12 lykkjur á hjálparband - tengdu seinni ermina - prjónaðu restina af erminni
Prjónaðu 55 lykkjur ( ef þú villt að rendinrar verði í miðjunni, prjónaðu þá 55 lykkjur).


Ég valdi að hafa rendurnar ekki í miðjunni, en bæði mamma mín og tengdamamma komu með athugasemdir á rendirnar ákvað því að setja valmöguleikann um að hafa þær í miðjunni. 

Það eru samtals 48 lykkjur á hjálparbandi. 

Prjónaðu aðra umferð með gráu , með 6 jöfnum útaukningum, þannig að þú verðir með í allt 240 lykkjur  fyrir munstur (266-26 lykkjur sem eru rendurnar).  Þú heldur alltaf áfram að prjóna rendurnar (2 brugðnar, 2 sléttar ... )


Prjónaðu munstrið hérna að neðan

Næst eru úrtökurnar


Úrtökur: 


Prjónaðu rendurnar áfram án úrtaka (26 lykkjur)


*prjóna 6, prjóna 2 saman* endurtaka    (206 +26 lykkjur í lok umferðar))
prjóna 7 umferðir án úrtakna


*prjóna 5, prjóna 2 saman* endurtaka   (172 +26 lykkjur í lok umferðar)
prjóna 7 umferðir án úrtakna

prjóna 2 umferðir án úrtakna


Taka úr jafnt 20 lykkjur yfir 70 munsturlykkjurnar,  þannig að þú sért með samtals 76 lykkjur
prjóna 2 umferðir án úrtakna


Skipta yfir á 4 mm prjóna, og prjóna 2 brugðnar, 2 sléttar þangað til þú ert með 7 cm.  Fella síðan af.

Project 5 - free pattern english version

 I wanted to make something that was snug-fitting and simple for my husband.  I decided to have the "stripes/rib" not in the middle so it would not be to predictable.

Size: L

Finished measurements :

Chest circumference:  106 cm // 41,7 inches 

Sleeve length: 53 cm // 20,9 inches

Body length: 47 cm // 18,5 inches

Gauge (after wash):  

10cm x 10 cm  15 stitches x 21 rounds

3,93 inches x 3,93 inches  - 15 stitches x 21 rounds

Yarn:   Léttlopi -  50g/1,75oz 100m/109 yd  per skein

-Black:  1 skein                              Shade 0059
- Light grey -8 skeins                      Shade 0056

 Needles:

4 mm // US 6 // UK 8

5 mm // US 8 // UK 6

Body:

Cast on 172 stitches with grey on 4 mm // US 6 // UK 8  needles
 * knit 2, purl 2*  - repeat until you have knitted 7 cm (knit in the round)

Change to 5 mm // US 8 // UK 6 needles.

Round 1:  *Purl 2 , knit 2* repeat 6 times, then purl 2.  Then knit the rest of the round.

Repeat round 1 until you have knitted 44 cm.

Sleeves:

Cast on 48 stitches in grey  on 4 mm // US 6 // UK 8  needles,  join in the round and knit 7 cm of  *knit 2, purl 2*Change to  5 mm // US 8 // UK 6 Needles and start to knit stockinette.     Increase in the first round 2 stitches ( 1  after the first stitch and 1 before the last stitch).   Then repeat these increases in every 7th round, in total 10 times. So that you will have in total 68 stitches.   Then knit until the sleeve measures 51 cm.  

Put 12 stitches in the middle on a yarn in another colour  (where the increases were), this will be under the arm.

Knit the second sleeve identical to the first one.

Shoulder:

You now have 308 Stitches ( 68 stitches each sleeve, 172 stitches body ).   

Knit 31 stitches (if you like it assymmetrical like me, if you would like to have the ribs in the middle knit 43 stitches*)
Put 12 stitches on a yarn of another colour and keep for the finishing under the arms.

Connect the first sleeve – knit the rest of the sleeve

Knit 64 stitches

Put 12 stitches on a yarn of another colour and keep

Connect the second sleeve – knit the rest of the sleeve

Knit 55 stitches (if you like assymmetrical like me, if you would like to have the ribs in the middle knit 43 stitches*).


*The option of having the ribs in the middle was made for my mother and mother in law who thought I had made an error and prefer everything to be symmetrical. 

There will be 48 stitches under the arms that are not knitted but kept on a yarn, 


Knit another round in (total 2 rounds, then knit the chart below) with 6 even increases so that you will have in total 240 stitches for the pattern (266 -26 for the stribes.  Always knit the ribs as described above (26 stithces with purl2,knit2, purl2....  ) 

After you have finished the chart knit 1 round and then start the decreases.


Decreases


Knit the stripes/ribs as usual and do not do any decreases in them (26 stitches)


*knit 6, then k2tog*    (206 +26 stitches after the decreases)
knit 7 rounds without decreases


*knit 5, then k2tog*  repeat  (172 +26 stitches after the decreases)
knit 7 rounds without decreases


*knit 4, then k2tog* repeat (138+26 stitches after the decreases)
knit 4 rounds without decreases


*knit 3, then k2tog* repeat (104+26 stitches after the decreases)
knit 4 rounds without decreases


*knit 2, then k2tog*  repeat (70+26 stithces after the decreases)
knit 2 rounds without decreases


Decrease evenly 20 stitches over the 70 stitches,  so that you will have in total 76 stithces. 
Knit 2 rounds without decreases


Change to needle size 4 mm // US 6 // UK 8 and *knit 2, purl 2* for 7 cm.  Bind off.

Finishing:  
Graft underarms, weave in ends.

Project 5 - pictures - traditional icelandic with a twist

It seems that there will be no end to the rain, so I went ahead and took some pictures of project 5. Will however probably replace them at some point with newer pictures.  My ever so willing and handsome model is the hubby, the sweater was made for him.

I´m calling the sweater  "traditional with a twist".

All the details about the project, with a pattern/instructions to come.   

I have already started on the next project (nr. 6). 

Project 5 - in progress

The sweater for my husband is slowly making progress, I´m planning to add a zipper , and maybe a hood.  I might also be scrapping the idea of the traditional icelandic pattern in black that I was planning.  The ribbed effect in the middle might be enough for this sweater... still lingering on that thought and will probably not decide until I get there. 

Yarn hoarding for future projects

There was an offer on yarn , and i bought alot of it,  enough for a sweater for my hubby.  Planning for a birthday present this sommer.  Can´t understand why I´m ever planning to knit a man´s sweater again but I have already bought the yarn so i must finish it.

i bought grey and black Léttlopi (icelandic yarn)

main colour

pattern chart colour

I´m planning on making a cardigan, with big collar (have no idea how to make the kind of collar I want to make, just have an idea in mind) and similar pattern chart to this.

I just need to surf the internet (or maybe shops) for pictures of collars, which might give me an idea how to make the collar i have in mind.

i have now already decided the next 3-4 projects,  I have to many ideas and not enough time to knit them all.

Here are some pictures of collars that are somewhat similar to what I was thinking about, but as this will be a cardigan it won´t be excactly like it.

This one is to small and to wide, but i like the ribbed effect

this is not quite right either , to wide ribs, but the collar is more snuggly, which I like

There is something about this collar in the back, but it is to wide in the front
