Lillesol is worked seamlessly from the top down.
The back is worked in plain Stockinette stitch while the front features a beautiful faux cable pattern panel at the center.
Knitting starts with the cast-on of the shoulders for the back. Once the short row shaped shoulder slope is done, the back is worked flat to underarm. Shoulder stitches are picked up to work the front to the same length. At underarm both front and back are joined to work the body top down in rounds. Neck finishing is worked next. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm opening to work the sleeves (short or long) top down in rounds.

Body and sleeves can be lengthened or shortened by working more or less rounds before starting the edging. Size can be adjusted by working widthwise from the size you need/want for your chest, and lengthwise from the size you need/want for your upper arms. Upper arm circumference is determined by the armhole length plus the underarm cast-on. Work more or less rows for both fronts and back (follow instructions for a smaller/ bigger size) to adjust armhole length.
Stitch counts are given after each increase or decrease row/round.
