Description:
The Julie Sweater features a striped pattern, and the pattern includes two different colour combinations. The sweater has dropped shoulders, which are shaped using short rows. The front and back are worked flat and then joined to work the body in the round. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are shaped with gradual decreases along the sleeve. The ribbed cuffs on the body and sleeves are finished with double knitting and an Italian bind-off. Stitches are picked up around the neckline, which is worked in the round in ribbing and then folded down.
