Dina Sweater English

Dina Sweater

Dina Sweater is worked top down. The back section is worked first, and then stitches are picked up for the shoulders and the neckline is shaped. Then you join the sections and work the body. Stitches are picked up along the armholes for the sleeves. Then stitches are picked up around the neckline to make the neckband.  

This sweater has a short body length and a good amount of ease in the body and sleeves.

As it is worked top down, it is easy to adjust the length. Measure the lengths of the body and sleeves by trying on regularly as you go.

To finish wash and block the sweater.

If working a longer version, you may need more yarn than suggested.
