The NARBONNE Sweater is a classic, slightly oversized cut turtle collar sweater. A basic part that can be combined well and belongs in every wardrobe.
The sweater is worked in the 2/2 rib pattern from top to bottom. First the back part is knitted, then left and right front part. The back and front parts are knitted in rows up to the end of the arm cut-outs. After that, both parts for the body are connected together and work is done in rounds. For the sleeves, stitches are grasped from the side edges of the front and back parts and knitted in rounds in the rib pattern. Finally, stitches from the neck cut-out are grasped for the roll collar and are likewise knitted in rounds in the rib pattern.
Techniques used: increases with left and right inclination in right and left stitches, decreases with left and right inclination.
