The sweater is knitted top down in stocking stitch in a thread Paia together with a thread Tilia. It is knitted back and forth until the front cutout is finished, then it is knitted in the round. Increase on both the right side and the wrong side, a total of 4 increases per round, around the shoulder stitches. This means that the increases are made before and after the shoulder stitches. Puff sleeves are also increased by using raglan as increases for the sleeves on the front and back. The sleeves and body are finished with an i-cord edge.
Yarn options
Feel free to knit the sweater in another yarn, such as double Tynn silk mohair. Or knit with a strand of Tynn silk mohair together with Sunday or Tynn Line from Sandnes garn. There are many possibilities, but please knit a sample before you start, to check that the knitting tension is correct. Note that the knitting tension is stated after the jacket has been rinsed.
