The Lucy Wrap is worked smoothly to the right from top to bottom. First is the upper part of the back, which is worked in rows and formed by shortened rows. After that, stitches for the shoulders are picked up, and the pass is worked in rows with increases for the sleeves and the oblique leading edges. The body is also worked in rows and with increases for the oblique leading edges. The sleeves are worked smoothly on the right in rounds. Finally, the strips are worked in the double knitting and knitted together with received stitches along the leading edges of the upper winding part.

Knit first a stitch sample to determine the needle size that suits you. Wash the gauge as the recommended yarn can still grow when washed and worn.
