Grid Loop Sweater

**GRID_LOOP_SWEATER** is a textured unisex sweater with characteristic ribbing details. It has a relaxed fit that gives the sweater a modern expression and combines comfort and structure in a simple way. The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, stitches are cast on for the neck, and the piece is worked back and forth in the textured pattern with ribbing on both sides. At the same time, increases are worked to shape the upper part of the back piece. Then, stitches are picked up along the shoulder edges, and the shoulders are worked individually. The two shoulders are then joined for the front piece by casting stitches on at the front. When the front piece and back piece are joined, the body is worked in the round in the textured pattern with ribbing on the sides, then the body is finished with a ribbing edge. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole, and the sleeves are worked in the round in the textured pattern and finished with a ribbing edge. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband which is worked in the round in ribbing and then bound off with Italian bind off. **Sizes_** XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) Circumference of sweater_ 117 (123) 129 (135) 143 (151) cm.
