“Luftlag” is worked top-down.
Knitting starts with a cast on at the shoulders for the back and is worked down to the underarms. Stitches are picked up at the shoulders of the back to work the fronts in two parts, joined together after the neck shaping. The front and back are joined together at the underarm and worked in the rounds until the hem. The hems are worked in rib. Sleeve stitches are picked up around each armhole to work the sleeves top-down in the round to desired length.
The neck can either be left raw or stitches can be picked up for further finishing.
