SONJA SWEATER

Sonja Sweater is worked from the top down in textured stitch and cable pattern. The upper back is worked first with increases. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders, which are joined at the front to form the front piece. The front and back are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked straight in the round on a circular needle in textured stitch and cable pattern. The sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up around the armholes. Finally, a ribbed neckband is worked.
