About the pattern
The sweater is knitted from the top down, first worked flat then later joined together and worked in a round. The neck later forms a keyhole opening when button closure is added. In the neck, there is knitted a ribbed boarder, then raglan increases and short rows. The sweater is then divided into sleeves and body, which is knitted separately, which gives the opportunity to put the sts on hold and try on the garment for best fit. The sleeves and body are finished with a ribbed boarder. At the end crochet 2 loops and sew on 2 buttons in the neck. I recommend blocking the sweater before use.
