Knitting the Marviga Sweater
The Marviga 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 jumper a smooth, even finish.

TOP-DOWN
Start with the neckline, knit the raglan increases, and divide the work into sleeves and body once the raglan is complete. Finish the body first, then the sleeves.
