Then, the stitches are put on hold and the sleeves are knitted. The body is knit in stockinette.The sleeves and body are finished with double rib. The neck is picked up and knitted in the same way as the other edges.

If you have fewer stitches per 10 cm, you must go down one needle size. If you have more stitches per 10 cm, you must go up a needle size.
Needles: 5 mm circular needle, 60 or 80 cm long
4.5 mm circular needle, 60 or 80 cm long
