Description of Lines Vibe Sweater
Lines Vibe Sweater is an oversized striped sweater worked from the top down with a high, loose neck and saddle shoulders. Stockinette stitch, stripes and increases create the lines that give the sweater its name.
After the neck, divide the work into shoulders, front and back. Short rows shape the back neck for a good fit. The shoulders extend beyond the natural shoulders for an oversized look.
After the shoulders and short rows, divide for the sleeves and finish the body and sleeves separately. Work the front and back flat to the armholes, then join the body to work in the round. Pick up stitches for the sleeves and work them in the round in stockinette stitch. Finish both the body and sleeves with rolled edges or flat edges that do not roll.
