Swirl Sweater Pattern by Helga Isager

Designed by Helga Isager. English language printed pattern.

SWIRL is a summer blouse knitted in Merilin and with stripes worked in Alpaca 2. The blouse has deep raglans and an oversize fit and is knitted from the bottom up (for the nicest raglan decreases).

The puff sleeves are worked straight and then double decreases are worked at the shoulders to gather the tops of the sleeves. Stitches are picked up and knitted along the neck edge and a wide rib is worked, the same as on the body and sleeves.
