Notes on construction
Fluffy Clouds Sweater is knitted from bottom to top in a circular, starting with the ribbing, then a series of decreases are made and work begins in Brioche stitch, continuing until reaching the underarm where the back and front are divided, which are knitted separately. Subsequently, the sleeves are knitted in circular, collecting stitches at the opening, without making decreases until the cuff gives the sleeve a balloon effect.
Finally, stitches are collected at the neckline.
