Riihi Sweater – knitting pattern (PDF)

The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. You start by casting on stitches for the neckline ribbing and then continue to the colorwork section. Few short rows are worked for a better fit at the back. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you work the body and hem. Sleeves are worked last using the Magic Loop technique or with double-pointed needles.
