Swirl Sweater
Construction:
This pattern combines different structures, braids and cables in a sweater that is knitted top down. First the backpiece is worked, then stitches are picked up at the seam to form the shoulders. The front and back are joined and the body is worked in the round. Stitches are picked up to create the sleeves and short rows form the shoulders. Finally, the neck the worked in twisted rib.
The structural patterns on the slipover are described through diagrams, where each stitch is depicted by a 1x1 square.
