Good to know
 
The sweater is knitted with four strands of yarn from the bottom to top in a circle .The body and the sleeves are knitted separately and then connected together from the armpits and knitted from there together for the yoke and neckline.
 
Yarn quantity required is based on an average , and is therefore an approximate number. The sweater can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as the given threads.
 
The perfect leftover yarn project !
