Wood
Wood is a top-down, seamless pullover with V-neck and curved hemline.
Upper back part is worked first from shoulders to the underarms, the shoulders are shaped with short rows.
The stitches of the fronts are picked up from the cast on edges of the back shoulders. Fronts are worked separately to the bottom of the V-neck, then the pieces are joined together and worked in one piece to the underarms.
Then the back and front are joined and worked in one piece in the round to the hem.
The curved hemline is shaped with short rows: the back is approx. 15 cm / 6” longer than the front.
The stitches of the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked to the cuff in the round.
