The Stuga Jacket is worked from the bottom up, backand forth on a circular needle.
It begins with a section in stockinette stitch, which is folded to form the hem. Then, the pattern is worked according to the chart up to the armholes, where the work is divided into back and front pieces, which are completed separately.
The shoulders are joined using a knitted seam, and stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are also worked according to the chart, in the round, topdown to the sleeve edge. The sleeve cuff is folded in the same way as the body hem.
Stitches are picked up along each front edge to create front bands, which are worked in double knitting and bound off using an Italian bind-off.
Finally, stitches are picked up along the top of the button bands and joined with the resting stitches from the back to form the collar, which is also worked in double knitting and finished with an Italian bind-off.
