Passap machine knitting instructions for a drop sleeved sweater with a zig zag motif knit across the top. A self punched deco card is used to knit the motif in singlebed fairisle. (The patterning could also be done by manually selecting the needles).

The bands are knit in 1:1 rib. The shoulders of the front and back are grafted together and the neck is finished by turning over and stitching down 1 cm of the fabric.
