Biskrem Sweater is knitted top down, starting with the back yoke which is worked back and forth (while shaping with short rows) in shakers rib pattern. After that sts are picked up across the shoulders to form the front yoke, then the rest of the body is worked in stranded colorwork pattern in the round till it’s finished. Sts for sleeves are then picked up, and worked in the round.

Sweater has approx. 15 cm of intended positive ease.

Please note that any change in gauge or switching to yarn of different composition might not give you the same finished measurements or finished look.
