Sweater Sonja
The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarm. Steek stiches will be added for armhole & necklines before you continue working in the round up to the shoulders. Armhole steeks are cut open. Sleeves stitches are picked up. Sleeves caps are worked in short-rows (fair-isle flat - documented with charts). Sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round. Neckline steeks are cut open and stitches are picked up. Corrugated rib is worked to finalize the garment.
