This sweater is worked from the top down with raglan technique and starts with a double border rib collar, after which short rows are used to shape the neck. The sleeves stitches are put on hold while the body is finished then returned to the needle. The body and the cuffs are finished with a folded hem. The Christmas tree is sewn at the top of the raglan part with the duplicate stitch technique. The Christmas balls are made with french knot embroidery.
