The Aniene sweater is worked top down according to charts, on circular needle.
First, cast on stitches for the back of yoke, and shoulders. The back of the yoke is worked back and forth to bottom of armholes.
The stitches are picked up along the shoulders and each side of the front neck is worked. The fronts are then assembled into one piece and then worked straight down to bottom of the armhole, where front is joined to the back. From here the body is worked in the round.
Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armholes and sleeves are worked top down.
Neck edge is worked in double knitting and all stitches are bound off using the Italian bind off technique.
Besides weaving in ends, no seaming is required.

The river Aniene runs through the town of Tivoli near Rome and made it possible during the Renaissance to build the beautiful gardens that decorates the town and area.
This sweater is knitted in a pattern in which small flower beds are shaped. The flower beds are created with yarn overs, decreases and wrap stitches – like tying a bouquet of flowers.
Combining Alva and Anina creates a very soft and light sweater, with the pattern making a visual garden filled with flower beds.
