Sweater with boat neck

The sweater is knitted in one piece from cuff to cuff and sewed together on the shoulders and under the sleeves. Some kind of ribbing pattern suites this model. If you use stockinet instead, it is a good idea to use moss stich on some of the st at the edge to avoid that the item ”curls”. There will be many st, so it is a good idea to use a circular needle and knit forth and back.

The sweaters on the picture are made from this description. They are made in different kinds of brioche. The close-up shows the increases on an arm in stockinet made in a thin yarn.
