Pattern Description:
Astrid is a top-down pattern. Its construction starts by knitting each shoulder separately while making increases for the neckline. Once both pieces are ready, they are joined at the neckline.
Since it’s knit in one piece, the sleeve increases are made while knitting the yoke. Once finished, the body and sleeves are separated and knit circularly.
You can choose the length of the body and sleeves based on your preferences, but remember that the yarn quantities are provided for the measurements included in this pattern.
