Rikke Mia Sweater ENG

PATTERN INFORMATION

The sweater is worked top-down. The neckline is made using an extra stretchy cast-on technique, making it easy to pull over the head. The back of the neck is shaped higher using short rows. Finally, a motif is embroidered on using duplicate stitch.

The pattern is free and created in collaboration with Rikke Mia Skovdal, also known as @Lidt_broderi_har_aldrig_skadet
