The sweater is worked from top to bottom in seed stich
(knit st over purl st and purl st over knit st) and with
shoulder panels in twisted rib. The sleeves are knitted
in extension of the shoulders at the same time as the
yoke.
Begin with the shoulder piece, where stitches are
increased on both sides of the shoulder panel shaped by
stitches in twisted ribbing. At the same time, stitches
are cast on both sides to shape the neckline. The piece
is then joined in the middle of the front and the final
shoulder increases are made. After this, increases are
made to shape the sleeve cap. When the height of the
armhole is reached, the work is divided, and the sleeves
and body are finished separately.
Along the body’s side panels, decreases are made to
slope the work slightly. The body is then divided, and
the wide edge is worked in twisted ribbing separately
on the front and back, which forms a high slit.
The sleeves are worked top-down, with increases
placed evenly between the upper and lower panels, to
form a balloon sleeve. The sleeve ends with decreases
and a high cuff in twisted ribbing.
Finally, stitches are worked up along the neck opening
and the high collar is worked in twisted ribbing.
