ENGLISH

The cardigan is worked from the top and down as a single piece. The number of stitches is increased incrementally throughout the yoke to give a pleasant detail and good shaping. The neckline and sleeve cuffs are decorated in seed stitch. Button- and buttonhole bands are knitted with the cardigan. The trousers are worked from the top down with an elasticated waistband. Short rows are used to shape the back for a good fit. The waistband and leg edges are decorated in seed stitch.

Cardiganen strikkes oppefra og ned i et stykke. Der tages masker jævnt ud over bærestykket for at opnå fine detaljer og en behagelig pasform. Hals- og ærmekanterne dekoreres med perlestrik. Knapstolperne strikkes samtidig med resten af cardiganen. Bukserne strikkes oppefra og ned med elastik i taljen. De formgives bagpå med vendepinde for en god pasform. Bukselinningen og buksekanterne dekoreres i perlestrik.
