Alva tröja is a stylish cable-knit sweater featuring saddle shoulders. The sweater has a cropped fit and a high neckline. It is designed to be worn layered over a dress, or styled with a skirt or high-waisted trousers.
Alva tröja is worked top down with saddle shoulders. The yoke is worked in the round on circular needles with increases for the front and back. Sleeve stitches at the shoulders are placed on hold, and the front and back are then worked flat separately. The work is joined under the arms and continued in the round on
circular needles. A few decreases are worked on the body for a more fitted waist. Sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round with decreases. Both sleeves and body are finished with ribbing. Stitches are picked up around the neckline and a ribbed turtleneck collar is worked.
