TECHNICAL DESCIRBTION OF THE MODEL
Cosy is knitted top down in the round, with a slight A-line shape from armhole to hem. Starting with round yoke increases followed by short rows to raise the back, you then work a few raglan increases before splitting for body and sleeves. Continue knitting the body in the round until the angled split angled hem. Each hem is worked separately and finished with a rib edge. The Italian bind off technique is used for binding off all stitches at hem, sleeves, and neckline.
The technique can be found as a video tutorial on www.sannefjalland.dk. Please notice that the video is in Danish.
