The Niko sweater is worked in rounds from top to bottom. It starts with a short rib, then the neckline is shaped using short rows. Next, a jacquard yoke is made, after which the sleeves and body are separated. The sleeve eyelets are placed on pieces of additional yarn, additional threads or large safety pins. The body and sleeves are made at the end. The length of the sweater and sleeves can be easily adjusted to your figure and preferences.
In larger sizes (2XL-5XL), the jacquard pattern is longer to adapt to the greater depth of the yoke.
The instructions are supplemented with supporting videos, which show the techniques of:
– short rows (German Short Rows)
– increasing stitches in jacquard
