Let’s start knitting!
BODY:
= 140-148-156-164-172-180-188 stitches. Start the next round at the marker and continue with stocking stitch in the round, with colour 85, light beige for a further 15-18-21-24-25-26-27 cm from the division.
Change to circular needle size 3 mm. Knit 1 round and increase 12-14-14-16-16-18-20 stitches evenly spaced = 152-162-170-180-188-198-208 stitches.
Work rib (knit 1, purl 1) in the round for 4 cm. Cast off a little loosely, knit over knit and purl over purl.
The jumper measures approx. 36-40-44-48-50-52-54 cm from the shoulder.
The body is now finished!
We have divided the yoke into the body and the sleeves and finished knitting the body, which means Clue #3 has now been solved. Are you ready to continue? Then click below on Next > to get to the next step of the jumper.
