CONSTRUCTION
Stone sweater is knitted top down. The back yoke is knitted first, and shaped with the help of short rows. The front yokes are picked up at the shoulders, and increases are worked for the neck. Then, the stitches are put on hold and the sleeves are knitted. The body is knitted in stockinette. The sleeves and body are finished with double ribbing. The neck is picked up and knitted in the same way as the other edges.

GAUGE

If you have fewer stitches per 10 cm, you must go down one needle size. If you have more stitches per 10 cm, you must go up a needle size.
