Lille Base Sweater (english)

The Lille Base Sweater has a simple and timeless design, with a relaxed fit and delicate details. It is made to be both comfortable and practical for everyday wear.

The sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases. You begin by knitting the neckband, then the yoke is shaped using short rows while at the same time working raglan increases for a well-fitting yoke. After the short rows, you continue with raglan increases until the work is divided into body and sleeves. The body and sleeves are worked separately and finished with k2, p1 ribbing and rolled edges.
