SMILLA SWEATER is a classic oversize sweater, with a simple and sophisticated cable pattern. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the back yoke is worked and then stitches are picked up and knitted along the shoulders, which are them worked and joined to form the front yoke. The back and front yoke are joined at the bottom of the armholes and the body is worked in the round until it is divided into front and back again and each section is worked back and forth to form the side slits. After this stitches are picked up and knitted
first for the neck edge and them for the sleeves, which are all worked in the round.
