Lotta Cardigan - knitting pattern

Lotta by Lotilda is an oversize mohair cardigan with neck facing that is knit from the top down. You first start with the right neck facing and then pick up the stitches for the right front piece. The left front piece is knitted in the same way. Then pick up the stitches for the back piece from the gauge row of the left front piece, the left facing, the right facing and the gauge row of the right front piece.

The jacket is shaped by shortening the rows at the shoulders and increasing the stitches at the armholes. In the lower part, stitches are again decreased so that the jacket becomes narrower towards the hips.

The sleeves are knitted by picking up stitches directly at the armholes, worked in back and forth rows, and also shaped at the base of the sleeves by shortening rows.
