Isager Zambezi Pattern englanti

You can purchase the knitting pattern only together with the yarns belonging to it.

CONSTRUCTION

The pullover is worked from the bottom up. Begin by working the Body to the underarm location and then set the stitches aside. Then, begin the Sleeves to the length at the underarm location matching the stitch pattern of the Body at the underarm. This means that if a longer or shorter Sleeve length is desired, it must be considered before beginning the Sleeve. Then, the Sleeves are inserted into the armhole and the pullover is knitted in the round using circular needles over the Body and the Sleeves. At the same time, raglan stitches are decreased along the length of both Sleeves. When the neckline is reached, the pullover can either be worked back and forth or it can be worked in the round, which will then be stitched with reinforcement stitches and cut to the shape of the curved neckline. Lastly, a collar is worked to the desired height.

Note: If the width or length of the sweater is changed, the yarn quantities specified in the pattern may change as well. Therefore, the following yarn quantities are only a recommendation.

Then, determine the individual measurements and circle them accordingly in the instructions.
