Tulip Loop V Neck

**TULIP_LOOP_V_NECK** has a loose fit, extra-long sleeve and a classic v-neck. The sweater is detailed with ribbing, cables and slits on the sides. The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First the back piece is worked back and forth, shoulders, and front piece. Then the two pieces are joined for the body and worked in the round. The bottom of the work is then divided and worked back and forth in ribbing, creating slits on both sides. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. For a good fit, short rows are worked on the upper part of the back, shoulders and sleeves. Cables and ribbing are worked on the body and sleeves. At the end, stitches are picked up for the neckline, which is worked in ribbing and finished with Italian bind off. **Sizes_** 1 (2) 3 (4) **Measurements_** Circumference_ 107 (118) 129 (140) cm.
