HIGH_V_LOOP_SWEATER

HIGH_V_LOOP_SWEATER is a sweater with classic look and characteristic high v-neck. The sweater is detailed with a beautiful, ribbed panel that moves down the shoulder and sleeve, winding towards the ribbing edge at the wrist. It has a loose and comfortable fit with a soft texture and an elegant hem.

The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First stitches are cast on for the neck, which is worked back and forth with increases on both sides to shape the upper back. Then stitches are picked up along the shoulder edge, and the shoulders are worked individually back and forth – first with short rows and then with increases for the neck. The front piece and back piece are then joined for the body which is worked in the round. The neck stitches are picked up along the neck opening and the neckband is worked in the round in ribbing. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole, and sleeves are worked individually in the round with decreases along the ribbing panel and are then finished with a ribbing edge and Italian bind off.
