Karla´s Sweater is a short sweater with 3/4 sleeves. The sweater is knitted from 4 threads Midnatssol and the construction of the sweater is very simple. The sweater is knitted from top to bottom on a circular knitting needle. The front and back parts are knitted back and forth in smooth right and then joined together to form the body, which is knitted round and closed with a rib edge. On the shoulders, the front and back parts are sewn together from the shoulder to the neck. Then, stitches for the sleeves are picked up, and the sleeves are closed with an I-cord edge.
