Lovisa Sweater

Lovisa Sweater is a classic oversized sweater with decorative shoulder details that give it a distinctive look. The sweater is worked from the top down, first back and forth while shaping the neckline, and then in the round on a circular needle. First, shoulder increases are worked, before the shoulder stitches are divided in half on each side and increases are worked for the sleeves. Raglan increases are then worked before the sleeves and body are separated. The sleeves and neckband are finished in double rib.
