Saturday Night Sweater Neuleohje

PetiteKnit Saturday Night Sweater Neuleohje. Englanninkielinen, paperinen neuleohje.

The Saturday Night Sweater is knit from the top down with a circular yoke. The neckline is shaped with short rows. The neckband is knit at the end from picked up stitches along the neckline.

The sleeves on the Saturday Night Sweater are half-length and are finished with a tight rib at the elbow, which makes the sleeve have a slightly puffed shape.

The Saturday Night Sweater is knit holding four strands of silk mohair together – the easiest is to knit from both ends of two balls of yarn at the same time.
