Knitting the sweater in 2 ways:
BOTTOM-UP VERSION
This version begins with the body, followed by the sleeves. All pieces are then joined together, and the raglan yoke is worked. The sweater is finished with the neckline.
The Hattholmen sweater is knitted from the bottom up. It is worked in the round, which means that instead of knitting back and forth in rows, you will work in continuous circles, creating a seamless garment. This method eliminates the need for side seams and gives the sweater a smooth, even finish.
