WAFFLE LOOP ROLL-NECK is a simple sweater with waffle structure and elegant details in the rib pattern. The sweater has a roller collar and a loose cut.

The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, stitches are struck in the neck, whereupon knitted in waffle structure and with stitches in the rib pattern on both sides of the work. At the same time, increases are made to shape the upper part of the back. Subsequently, stitches are picked up along the shoulder edge and both shoulder parts are worked separately. Both parts are connected on the front and new stitches are strung between them. The front and rear sides are closed to the body, which is knitted in wafer structure in rounds with rib patterns on the sides. The sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm cutouts, which are then made in waffle structure in rounds downwards and ended with a ribbed tuft. Lastly, stitches are included for the collar, which is knitted in the rib pattern and chained using the Italian method.
