Worked from the bottom upwards, Merry Sweater is worked in the round after finishing the pretty textured hem sections. The body is divided at the armhole point (meaning that it’s very easy to lengthen or shorten your project for personalisation) and then joined at the shoulders using the 3 needle bind off method. The sleeves are picked-up and knitted downwards in the round, starting with an eye-catching textured detail before resuming the therapeutic rhythm of stockinette stitch. The tex- tured neckband is also worked in the round, meaning that this is a seam-free / stress-free / cast-off-and- wear project!
