Helga swearter light - ENG

ABOUT THE PATTERN:
Helga sweater - the cozy and simple sweater that goes with everything. The sweater should be oversized, recommending between 10-30 cm positive ease, but feel free to choose the bust circumference you prefer <3 

The sweater is knit top-down. You start with the back, then pick up stitches for the shoulders on each side of the cast-on edge. After shaping the neckline, the shoulder stitches are joined, and you knit the last part of the front yoke as long as the back. Once the pieces are the same length, you join them and knit in the round, finishing with ribbing. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves in the armhole, and the sleeves are knit straight down with decreases, ending with ribbing. Stitches are picked up for the neck, and the neck ribbing is knit to the specified length. The neck is folded double, and finally sewn neatly on the wrong side.
