FOR HIM sweater

The FOR HIM sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, partly in rows and partly in the round. It is worked in stockinette stitch, with 1×1 ribbing.

You begin by working the back of the sweater, shaping the sloping shoulders. Next, the right and left front sections are worked in rows. In the next step, the front and back are joined for simultaneous work in rows, with stitches picked up for the sleeves. You continue working all sections simultaneously while shaping the neckline. The two neckline sections are then joined, and from this point onwards, the sweater is worked in the round until you reach the underarm.

Next, the stitches are divided into the body and sleeves, which are each worked separately in the round until you reach the ribbing. The sleeves are worked with decreases to shape them.
Both the body and sleeves are finished with 1×1 ribbing.

The collar is picked up and worked in the round in 1×1 rib.
