The marcesinasweater is worked from the top down, with German short rows for neck shaping and increases on the decorative pattern.
The neck is double-ribbed.
The sleeves are also worked from the top down, with DPNs (or with the magic loop technique) on the stitches that are to be put on a holder once the yoke is done.
WARNINGS
the sweater is quite fitted; therefore, if you want a more relaxed fit, I suggest sizing up
Drop Nepal yarn changes a lot before and after washing; it is therefore important to wash and block your work once you are done with it.
