Featuring a round neck, drop shoulders, and an oversized and boxy fit, Judy is perfect for everyday wear.
It is worked top down. First, the back is worked flat to the bottom of the armhole. Then, the front shoulders are picked up from the shoulder edge and worked top down as you shape the neck. Finally, the front and back are joined together at the underarm and the body is knit seamlessly in the round to the hem. Stitches are picked up from the armholes for the sleeves, which are then worked seamlessly in the round and top down to the cuff. The model in the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a size 2.
