Knitting the Langenes sweater
The Langenes Sweater is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted in the round up to the armholes, where it is divided again to shape the neckline and shoulders. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches along the armhole openings and worked in the round. The neckline is completed with a short ribbed collar. This method creates a seamless and comfortable garment with minimal finishing work.
