CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The sweater is worked from the bottom to the top. Begin with the Front and then work the Back. Block the two body parts and then sew the side seams together. The shoulders are then joined together. Pick up the Sleeve stitches around the armhole opening and then work the Sleeves back and forth in rows. After completing the first 5 cm of the Sleeves, they can also be joined together to finish them in the round if so desired using short circular needles. Finally, the collar is knitted.
RECOMMENDED NEEDLE SIZE
4 mm (US 6) and 3.5 mm (US 4) for the cuffs, bottom band and collar
Guage
GAUGE (in pattern):
20 stitches = 10 cm
22 rows (in stockinette) = 10 cm, while 44 rows (in pattern) = 10 cm
