Description
fOTOS + Text © Anne Ventzel
The Sailor Sweater has a simple cut with the shoulder line drawn forward and striking removal details on the rib fins of the sleeves. The sweater is knitted from top to bottom; first the ribbed at the neckline is made in rounds, then shortened rows to form the neckline, after which work is continued in rounds until the shoulder width is reached. After that, the sweater is divided into front and back and both parts are knitted separately down to below the arm cutouts. Afterwards, both parts are placed again on a circular knitting needle and the fuselage is worked in rounds up to the lower edge. New stitches for the sleeves are inserted along the arm cutouts. Here, shortened rows are first made to shape the arm balls, then the sleeves are knitted in rounds on a circular knitting needle and end with a wide ribbed tuft and decreases along the outsides.
