All parts start with a ribbed cuff / hem, and is then knitted in a structured pattern, consisting
of knit and purl stitches, which creates a diagonal zigzag pattern. Decreases are made to
shape the neckline and the shoulders. When all 4 parts are done, the sweater is washed and
blocked, before pieced together with mattress sts.
Edge stitches: (the first and the last stitch of a row) are worked in knit stitches on both rsr
and wsr. The edge stitches are included in the stitch specifications, but are NOT shown in
the knitting script.
Decreases: To form the neckline, you will have to make some decreases. To do so, the last 2 sts
as well as the first 2 sts of a rsr are worked together through the back loop.
