Strimma-jumper is worked seamlessly top down with circular yoke construction. Short rows are first worked on the back to lower the neckline and again on the back before hem ribbing for a longer, slightly curving back hemline.

Yarn

Worsted or lofty DK wt yarn which knits up to gauge.

The sample jumper (M2) was knitted with Eco Cashmere (100% Cashmere of which 50% is recycled; 150 m/ 164 yds per 50 g) with colours Alta (MC) and Nero (CC).
Note that the yarn knits up like worsted wt yarn so if you are using different yarn make sure you have approximate the same amount of meters/yards instead of hanks.
