The LUPIN SWEATER It works from top to bottom. The neck cutout is made last. The pattern on the pass is knitted according to diagram, then shortened rows are made to raise the neck and shape the neckline. The pass is knitted with raglan increases before it is divided into body and sleeves. The sleeve stitches are set aside on an extra thread while the body is made to the desired length. The row is shortened again, but this time to extend the back, before the fuselage is chained with a ribbed tuft and the Italian method. Finally, the ribbed is knitted on the neckline so that it matches the ribbed on the torso and sleeves.
