Korshavn Sweater Man is worked bottom up in basket pattern according the chart. First the ribbing and body are worked in the round, before you cast off stitches for the armhole openings and continue to work front and back piece separately. You cast off stitches for the neckline both at front and back piece and work the shoulders separately, before you sew them together. You then pick up stitches around the armhole openings for the sleeves, which are worked in the round with decreases following the chart. Finally, you pick up stitches around the neckline and the ribbing is folded to the sweater’s wrong side.

Please check the stated measurements and size guide for your correct size. The measurements are calculated according to the given gauge. Remember to knit a gauge swatch first.
