The Lava Sweater is worked bottom up in the round using 5 mm (US 8) needles and 1 strand of Diablo held together with 1 strand of Friends Wool. The magic loop-technique is used in the pattern. Alternatively, 5 mm (US 8) double pointed needles can be used. The sweater consists of a part worked in rib-stitch and one worked in stockinette stitch, finishing off with folding part of it down.

To finish the armholes are sewn or crocheted together. The Lava Sweater has a loose fit. Estimate a positive ease of 5-8 cm/2-3.15 in. i.e. the final circumference of the sweater should be 5-8 cm/2-3.15 in larger than your own circumference.
