Nuuk Sweater
Deutsch
INTRODUCTION
The
Nuuk Sweater is worked from the top down entirely in the round on a circular
needle. The ribbing is worked with short rows, and the round yoke is shaped with
increases in the pattern. You can work the lace pattern in the yoke either from
the text or the chart, depending on which method suits you best.
There
are links to relevant videos during the pattern.
For
this sweater you use the following techniques:
·
Tubular cast-on. (You may choose to
make the tubular cast-on with waste yarn. It is a lot easier than you think.)
·
German short rows to shape the back
of the neck. This is the only place in the pattern where you knit back and
forth. Everything else is worked in the round.
·
The lace pattern in the yoke is
shaped by YO’s and knitting sts together. Described in
chart and in text.
·
The body and the sleeves are worked
round in st.st.
·
There is ribbing on body and sleeves.
·
Finish the sweater with double
knitting and tubular bind off (or do as you normally do).
