Soft Shimo Sweater by Leeni Hoimela, in english

Ohje on englanniksi ja paperikopio.  Pattern is in english and paper copy.

Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 笳
The sweater begins with either a provisional or a long tail cast-on at the neckline, which is then folded over for a trendy double-layered look. The neckline is shaped with short rows for a better fit, followed by a beautiful lace pattern at the front. The body is knitted first, then the sleeves. Finally, the neckline is sewn to the inside if you didn窶冲 secure it while knitting.
And no mohair – this time I added a stand of cashmere.
