Paris Sweater Pattern

By Danish designer Helga Isager. English language.

The sweater is worked from the bottom up. The front and back are worked separately. Short rows are worked to prevent the rib along the sides and armholes for becoming wavy.  The sleeves are also worked from the bottom up, then they are knitted together with stitches that are picked up along the rib edges on the body, so the rib edges form a ’pleat’.  Be aware that several things are happening at the same time in the pattern, so read carefully.
