Stockholm shirt

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Preferably knitted with threads of Soft Silk Mohair from Knitting for Olive.

Stockholm sweater is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch double threadsilk/mohair. First, the upper part of the back is knitted, then stitches are picked up along the lining edge of the back to the shoulders. The shoulders are knitted separately with shortened rounds, so that a wedge is created. Front and back pieces are brought together under the armhole, and the body is knitted in the round on circular needle. Along the armholes stitches are picked up for sleeves, which are knitted around on double pointed needles or with Magic Loop. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline, where an elastic edge is knitted which is finally folded and sewn on the wrong side. Stockholm shirt is assembly-free with the exception of the folding of the neckline.
