Holiday Sweater - Paper
Holiday Sweater is knitted top down with raglan increases. The neckline is created by first working back and forth on needle with increases on each side, and then in the round on circular needle. The sleeves have extra width down towards the wrist and are finished with a tight rib edge. The sleeves are knitted in the round using the Magic Loop technique. The rib edge of the neck is worked from the untied sts in the neck opening. Decreases and increases are worked so that the neck edge lies neatly down towards the neck.
