The Skånevik Sweater Spring Edition with long sleeves is knitted top-down with a soft and slightly relaxed fit.
You start with the neckline, work short rows for a comfortable shape, continue through the colorwork yoke with raglan increases, and then divide into body and sleeves.Since it’s knitted top-down, you can easily try it on and adjust the length as you go.

Always knit a swatch before you start to ensure the correct size.
