Birch leaf sweater
About the pattern
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. First the body and the sleeves are knitted separately, then the body and sleeves are placed upon the same needle and the yoke is finished off with raglan decreases. When knitting the v-neck, the yoke are knitted back and forth on the needle with decreases over the arms and for the neck. At the end, the shoulders are sown together with Kitchener stitches, and with an i-cord bind off along the neck.
