Vik Sweater

This pattern is in Danish.

The Vik sweater is knitted from the top down in a fine and feminine lace pattern and with a saddle shoulder construction. First, the two shoulder pieces are knitted back and forth. Then, stitches are picked up on the two shoulder pieces, and sts are cast on to knit the back piece and the underarm is worked. 

Pick up sts for the front piece and shape the neck and knit out to under the sleeve. The body is gathered and finished with a rib. Pick up sts along the armhole and knit the sleeves in the round and finish with a rib. Finally, pick up sts for a folded neck edge in rib.

The pattern will be sent as a PDF file to your email after purchase.
