Butterscotch sweater is knitted top down, starting with the back yoke which is worked back and forth till it’s finished. After that sts are picked up across the shoulders to form the front yoke, then the body is worked in the round. Stitches for sleeves are then picked up across the armholes and worked in the round as well.

This top has approximately 12-16 cm of positive ease.

Please note that while testing, a change in neckline depth took place, so that’s why the finished projects of the testers are slightly different than the main design, however some of testers did test the updated version.
