Product Information
The Niels Sweater is worked from the top down. First, the top section of the back yoke is worked with short rows and increases. Then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the shoulders and the rest of the yoke is worked in the round on the circular needle. The body is worked in the round on a circular needle and the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. At the end, a folded rib edge with double knitting is worked along the neck edge.
