Sunday Sweater

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Sunday Sweater is knitted from the top down. The yoke is knitted in the round in ribbing with increases. The body and sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch and finished with a ribbed edge. The sleeves on the Sunday Sweater are extra long and knitted with increases, so they become wider towards the wrist. The neckline is folded and sewn to the wrong side.
