CONSTRUCTION
Hedda top is worked top down in one piece, with saddle shoulders.
At the beginning, the top is worked back and forth with increases for front and back along the shoulder lines. The neckline is shaped by casting on stitches at the end of each row. After the neckline shaping is completed, the yoke is worked in the round. The work is then divided for front and back and worked separately, back and forth in rows. The pieces are then joined for knitting in the round again. The body is worked straight, finished with a folded hem. The neckline is finished with ribbing, the armholes are finished with attached I-cords.

KONSTRUKTION
Hedda stickas uppifrån och ner i ett stycke, med sadelaxel.
Först stickas toppen fram och tillbaka, med ökningar längs axellinjerna. Maskor läggs upp i slutet av varje varv, för att forma halsringningen. Därefter stickas resten av oket runt. Arbetet delas sedan av för fram- och bakstycke och delarna stickas separat, fram och tillbaka. Fram- och bakstycket förs sedan ihop, bålen stickas runt och avslutas med dubbelvikt fåll. Halsringningen avslutas med resår, ärmhålen avslutas med I-cord.
