Little Twigs
€6.50
by Mandarine's / Melody Hoffman
Description
Little twigs is a yoke sweater worked from the bottom up. You start off by knitting the sleeves (though that’s totally optional) then cast on for the body.
You simply knit in the round until you reach the underarm section. There’s a couple of short rows there to elevate the back a little bit and make the yoke portion sit better on the shoulders. Then you attach the sleeves to the body by simply knitting a round. A few more short rows, and then the fun part begins. Just remember to loosen yup your tension, or go up a needle size if you’re a really tight knitter otherwise the slipped stitches will be all crunched up.
