Down memory Lane Sweater
Introduktion
This sweater is inspired by the very first sweater I ever knitted. I was a teen, sitting by my mothers side, knitting this cable off white sweater. I don’t have it anymore, but I have pictures in my mind that inspired me to this sweater.
It’s a top down, one piece knitted sweater.
You start by shaping the back and shoulders by knitting back and forth before the sweater is gathered and knitted in the round. This gives the sweater a great fit.
It got puffed sleeves and you can adjust the length of the sweater and sleeves easily if you like. The neck ribbing is knitted at the end.
