Beginners friendly

The Easy One 2 (cropped version) is worked top-down, beginning with the neckband. After completing the neckband, short rows are used to shape the neckline, creating a deeper front neckline than the back. This design feature adds a flattering, comfortable oversized fit, allowing the front to sit lower than the back for a more relaxed silhouette.
Once the neckline shaping is complete, the yoke is worked in the round, with increases shaping the shoulders and chest. After the yoke is finished, the project is split into the sleeves and body, which are worked separately. Both the sleeves and body are knitted one at a time in the round, ensuring a seamless construction with minimal finishing required. The top-down method also offers flexibility, allowing for easy adjustments to length and fit as you knit.
