Marseille Sweater Young

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Marseille Sweater Young is knitted from the top down. First, the top part of the back is knitted back and forth, and the shoulder slope is shaped with short rows for a good fit. Then the shoulder sections are also knitted with short rows, each back and forth on circular needles. The shoulder sections are joined at the front to form the front piece. The front and back pieces are then joined to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted out from picked-up stitches along the armhole. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles or double-pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. The neck ribbing is knitted last out from picked-up stitches, and it is folded in half and knitted down last. The Marseille Sweater Young is knitted with stripes, and the placement of these is specified in the pattern.
