Sharpei Sweater
Sharpei Sweater is a soft, lightly cropped and expressive sweater, made up of horizontally knitted pleats or plissés. The sweater is knitted from the bottom and up. First, the body is knitted in the round to the desired length, and then divided into a front and back piece. These are knitted separately back and forth on the needle while the neckline is shaped simultaneously. The shoulders are grafted together with the kitchener stitch. The sleeves are knitted with increases to create a balloon effect and are sewn on to the body.

Suggested needles:
5 mm//US8 80 cm/100 cm // 32/39 inches circular needles and

I recommend winding up the cones into skeins by hand or with a yarnwinder, so that you can use the strand from outside and inside the skeins simultaneously.
