Product Information
The Esther Sweater Junior is worked from the top down in a texture pattern. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with increases. Then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. The shoulders are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked straight down in the round, continuing with the texture pattern. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. A ribbed edge is worked along the neck edge.
