Description

This knitting pattern is in English.

The Ingrid Sweater Man is worked from the top down in a knit and purl texture pattern. First. the back yoke is worked back and forth and the sloping shoulders are shaped using short rows. Then stitches are picked up and knitted for the shoulder sections. which are worked separately and 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. The sleeves are knitted in the round from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armholes. A rib neck edge is worked. folded double and knitted together. The Ingrid Sweater Man is worked in a texture pattern. which consists of three different pattern sections.
