MISTY MELANGE sweater

The sweater is worked from the top down. Start with the back piece, then place the stitches on a stitch holder and work the left and then the right front pieces. After joining the two front pieces, work the X-shaped decoration and the length of the front piece. All pieces are worked in rows, and after joining the front and back pieces, in the round. After finishing the hem, pick up stitches for the sleeves, which are also worked in the round until the desired length is achieved. Finally, work on the collar, which is folded in half and secured inside.
