Boxy babe sweater

**Boxy Babe Sweater** Boxy Babe Sweater is a classic stockinette stitch sweater with generous positive ease. It is worked top down using a European shoulder construction. The back is shaped and worked flat first, with increases along both sides to create the shoulder slope. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders and the right and left fronts are worked separately before being joined to form the front. Once the front and back have been fully shaped, the pieces are joined under the arms and the body is worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are worked top down. Finally, stitches are picked up to work the neckband. **Yarn:** Option 1: 600 (650, 750, 800, 850) g Peer gynt from Sandnes garn.
