BiRTHDAY
€5.00
A beautiful timeless sweater designed by Ankestrick
Description
The BiRTHDAY sweater is worked seamlessly in rounds, in one piece from the top-down in half brioche stitch pattern. After the collar is worked, the yoke is shaped by raglan increases down to the sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm stitches are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the bottom ribbing. After the body is completed, sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles to work in half brioche pattern in the round.
It can be worn from both sides.
