The EFEU SWEATER has a chunky leaf pattern at the yoke, which is created using decreases, yarn overs and a few cables. The sweater is worked from the top down. Both pattern and shape are formed when simply following the chart. Thus, the EFEU SWEATER is an easy and amusing knit. After finishing the leaves at the yoke, short rows and raglan increases are made to create a good shape for the neckline and the armholes. The body and sleeves are then worked separately.
Each yarn kit contains the amount of yarn needed to complete the project in the selected size.
