Moby Sweater Mini

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Moby Sweater Mini is knitted from the top down using textured and cable knitting. First, the back is knitted with short rows to shape the shoulder slope. Then, stitches are picked up at the shoulders and joined at the front to knit the front piece. The front piece and back are then joined under the armhole to continue knitting the body straight down. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. Finally, a ribbed edge is knitted at the neck, folded in half, and knitted down.

Make a gauge swatch to determine which needle size you need to use to match the gauge - note that this can vary from yarn to yarn. Be aware that you should wash the gauge swatch before measuring, as textured knitting can “grow” after washing.
