Mandi Sweater

Mandi Sweater is a cozy oversized sweater with a boxy fit and sleeves with purled details. The sweater is worked from top down. First the back is worked with short rows before adding the shoulders separately. Next the front yoke is worked by joining the shoulders. Once joined, the body is worked in the round and finished with a rolled edge. After that stitches are picked up from the armholes and the sleeves are worked. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline and worked in the round in 2x2 rib. We recommend a positive ease of approx. 30-35 cm for 75-115 cm bust and 20-25 cm of positive ease for 115-130 cm bust, depending on how oversized you prefer the sweater to be.
