ConstructionThe Mini Melty Sweater is worked from the top down in circular knitting. You will start by knitting the collar in 1x1 rib stitch, then you will fold it and close it to form a double collar. You will shape the yoke with German short rows, working in stockinette stitch with Raglan increases until you reach the underarms. You will then divide your work in three to knit the bottom of the body and the sleeves separately.
