This Knitting pattern is in English.
The Linea Sweater is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked back and Forth with short rows to create the curved shape of the back yoke. A contrast-colored line is worked along the cast on the edge of the back yoke to emphasize the shaping of the back. The shoulders and then the front is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along this contrast-colored line. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted around the neck opening and the neck edge is worked in rib.
