end of the row.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your piece

edge, (approx. 30 rows) your last row
must be a knit row.

Place your front and back panels on

top of each other, with the wrong sides
touching.

Thread the sewing needle with a length

of yarn. Starting at the outside edges,
use the horizontal invisible seam
technique to sew up the shoulder seams.

When you get to the neck edge use the

vertical invisible seam to sew up the side
of the neck trim.

front.

measures 48cm/19 from the cast on
edge, (approx. 67 rows) finishing with a
knit row.

Decrease row: Purl 4 stitches, purl

2 stitches together, purl 3 stitches.

work 4 rows in 1x1 rib stitch.

With the right sides facing up, line your

sleeves up with the sewn-together front/
back pieces, so that the centre of the
cast off edge on the sleeve meets the

fold your sweater along the shoulders
and sleeves. Using the vertical invisible
seam, sew the underarm seams.

Starting at the bottom edge of the right

the slipped stitch edge) use the vertical
invisible seam technique to sew the side
seam.

stocking stitch section, sew the left side
seam using the vertical invisible seam.
