CONSTRUCTION NOTES

Lizz Sweater is knitted top down and seamlessly. The twisted rib neck edge is knitted first, folded down and knitted together towards the wrong side. Continuing knitting in the round while dividing the stitches into raglan-, sleeves- and body stitches. The back is shaped with the German Short Row technique. After the raglan increases are worked the work is divided into sleeves and body. Finished both body and sleeves with twisted rib hems.
