Basic Baby Sweater i Snefnug ENG TRYCKT

BASIC SWEATER is a good basic sweater and a really good choice for a beginners project as the pattern only consists of knit and purl. The sweater is knit in the round from the bottom and up. The sleeves are knit in the round on dpns and are joined with the body at the yoke. As the stitch pattern is worked as 4 rounds of alternately knit and purl, it will pull together vertically, and it is recommended to knit a little swatch, wash it, and let it dry flat, to see the true row gauge.
