Procedure
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Start with a provisional, crochet cast-on to allow adjusting the size of the neckline before working the neck hem. The shoulders and back of the neck are shaped using short rows. The yoke is worked with increases and then divided into sleeves and body, which are finished separately.

Please note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated according to the number of keys the kit contains, which is the amount of yarn we have used to knit the model according to the specified measurements. If you need more yarn, it can be purchased at a regular yarn price by placing a new order and writing the lot / lot number in the comments field when paying. Yarn consumption for all models is both calculated and tested.
