Knitting the Fagerholt sweater
The Fagerholt sweater is knitted in the round, which means that instead of knitting back and forth in rows, you’ll be working in continuous circles to create a seamless garment. Knitting in the round is an efficient technique that eliminates the need for side seams, giving the sweater a smooth, even finish.
