Dervish sweater

A delicate sweater with many pretty details. The balloon sleeves are a funny detail, which can be omitted if you prefer to knit ordinary straight sleeves. It is fun to knit and light and pleasant to wear, both summer and winter. Dress it with a pair of jeans or a pair of a pretty skirt for a festive occasion.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Procedure:
The sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up. At the armhole the work is divided and back and front pieces are knitted separately. Continue working the body, back and front pieces until after the armhole, then change into rib pattern. The sleeves are knitted in the round, from the bottom up, either with the balloon effect at the wrists or straight up, then stitches are bound off for the sleeve cap and are also knitted with a rib pattern at the top. The shoulders are knitted together and the sleeves are sewn into the armhole, then stitches are picked up at the neckline and knitted in rib.
