SILKE'S SWEATER is worked in stockinette stitch with stripes, from the top and down, with a double neck rib worked in twisted rib, and with German short rows in the neck, to give the sweater a good fit. The sleeves and the body are also worked in stockinette stitch and ended with twisted rib, as in the neck.
Since the sweater is knitted top-down, it will be possible to try on the sweater along the way, and possibly make some adjustments if necessary. If you want a longer model or longer sleeves, you will need more yarn. All measurements are for guidance only!
The sweater is worked in
LAMAULD, and with all the colours available in Lamauld, there is a lot of beautiful combinations for this striped sweater.
The sweater can also be worked in
LAMATWEED.
