The sweater is knitted from the top down in stocking stitch. It is knitted back and forth until the front cutout is finished, then it is knitted in the round. It is increased on both the right side and the wrong side, a total of 4 increases per round. This means that it is increased before and after the shoulder stitches, otherwise you use raglan as increases. It is also increased for puff sleeves. Finally, the work is finished with a nice i-cord edge at the sleeves and body.

Tip! When knitting with Paia yarn, it can be an advantage to store the skein of yarn you knit in a small bag. It can also be a good idea to tie the end of the yarn so that it does not “fuzz up”.
