The printed pattern is accompanied by notes from myself: they are meant to clarify some points and I also asked Margrét to add two sizes to the pattern. The notes come in the form of a PDF and don’t include the charts that are in the printed pattern. On my website, you will find helpful tutorials illustrating some techniques used in this pattern, such as the steek. Margrét Halldórdottir is an Icelandic designer of sweaters under the name Móakot.
