Bobby

Our cuddly sweater made from Merino Bouclé by Herzfasern.
Bobby is an oversized sweater that is very wide on the body. two different versions for the sleeves have been calculated, normal slim sleeves and sleeves that are a bit wider and only get narrower at the cuffs. We start with the neckline so that the decision for a neckband or a turtleneck can still be made at the end. The sweater gets its shape by combining the contiguous technique with raglan increases. Bobby is knitted seamlessly from the top down. First, stitches are increased for the shoulder yoke in each round (Contiguous method according to Susie Myers), then stitches for body part and sleeves are increased every other round. After dividing for the sleeves, the lower body part is knitted in stockinette stitch in rounds. All cuffs are knitted in rib pattern k1, p1.
