Mousse Sweater by Joanna Filip x Laine Magazine

Construction
The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down in a 2-row/rnd textured pattern. It begins with the back, followed by each shoulder. Once the front and back are joined, the body is worked in the round and the hem is finished with a 1 x 1 Rib. Then, the sleeves are knitted in the round, ending with cuffs in 1 x 1 Rib. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to work the mock turtleneck in 1 x 1 Rib. Each part is finished with a neat Tubular BO.
