Pattern
The Wendy Sweater is designed to have a positive ease of approx. 10-16 cm. The design is knit top down. First you knit flat to shape the neckline, then you join your work and knit in the round. The sweater is knitted in one piece, and the increases are made along the shoulders that later will be extended for sleeves. The sleeves are worked in the round either on double pointed needles or with circular needles using the magic loop technique. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline and knit in double stockinette stitch to create the collar. The collar is knit with increases to create a point at each end.
