The sweater is knitted using 1-ply Plötulopi, with the exception of decorative borders at the cast-on edge of the body and sleeves and at the neckline which are knitted with Léttlopi. The sweater is wide over the hips but tight in other respects and measurements can be tighter than the actual chest width (neg ease of 3-5cm).

This body-fitted sweater is wide over the hips but tight in other respects so measurements can be tighter than actual chest size with negative ease of 3 to 5 cm. The bobble edging is knitted into the pattern then folded and sewn down later as a hem.
