The Everyday Sweater is the ideal sweater for everyone. Its timeless design with the finest slit details on both the sleeves and the bottom makes it essential for all. There are videoguides along the way.
Process:
The Everyday Sweater is knitted from the top down. First, the back piece is formed, then the shoulders by knitting increases, which lead to the front piece. After that, the back and front pieces are joined under the armhole, and the body is knitted. Finally, the sleeves are knitted, and all ends are woven in.
