Retstrik

The Texture Sweater is the perfect project for scrap yarn. It is designed with a contigious construction, which means that you first increase on the shoulders, next the sleeves are formed by increases. The first rows after the collar are worked with German Short Rows to shape the neck to a better fit – when you have turned the work the first stitch is slipped as if purled with the yarn in front of the work. The stitch is therefore not knitted. On the way back you knit/purl (depending on the right or wrong side) the chain together with the stitch to prevent holes in the work.
