Moby Sweater Junior
Moby Sweater Junior is a beautiful sweater that is knitted from top to bottom with structured and twist knitting. First, knit the back, which is shaped with a double-pointed needle to form a shoulder slope. Then stitches are picked up to the shoulders, which are gathered at the front of the piece. Front piece and back are gathered under the armhole and form the body, which is knitted straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. A ribbed edge is knitted in the neck, folded over and knitted down.
Make a knitting test to check what needle size you need to hit the knitting strength - note that this can vary from yarn to yarn. Pay attention to washing the knitting sample, as structured knitting can grow during washing.
