QUICK OVERVIEW:
SWEATER IS KNITTED BOTTOM UP WITH CIRCULAR NEEDLES IN THE ROUND UNTIL REACHED THE SHOULDER LEVEL. THEN FRONT AND BACK ARE KNITTED SEPARATELY AND JOINED TOGETHER WITH A SEAMLESS SEWING STITCH WITH A SEWING NEEDLE. NECKLINE IS KNITTED IN 1x1 RIB AND SEWED INWARDS TO MAKE A DOUBLE FOLDED EDGE. STITCHES FOR SLEEVES ARE PICKED UP FROM THE SHOULDER EDGE STITCHES AND KNITTED IN THE ROUND. SLEEVES GRADUALLY REDUCE NUMBER OF STITCHES AT THE CUFFS TO CREATE A BALLOON SHAPE. SWEATER HAS AN OVERSIZED FLOWY FITTING.
