Notes

I copied Gurolaga’s idea to make a jumper instead of a poncho, using the dimensions of the “Aftur” lopipeysa that I knitted lat year because it fitted so well. I like knitting with Létt-Lopi because it goes fast and it is nice and warm!

I had some troubles when trying to fit the Pickles-chart into the “Aftur” pattern so I’m not sure how it will turn out in the end… still a few more rows to go.

Update:
I finished it! The pattern turned out great in the end put I have to say I prefered it as a jumper instead of a cardiagan… I kind of breaks up the pattern which is not so pretty. But now it’s too late and I still like it.

I also experimented a little bit with the “Aftur” pattern and worked in 4 darts to make a more fitted version which turned out quite nicely. I can recommend it if you don’t like the more baggy fit of the traditional lopipeysar.
