Harald’s Sweater is knit from the top down. The yoke is knit in the round in rib and shaped with increases. Body and sleeves are knit in stockinette stitch and finished with a folded edge. The neckband is folded over and sewn to the wrong side with an elastic thread inside – this makes the neckband easy to get over the head as well as keeping it in shape with wear.
