| Description | Grosgrain is knitted seamlessly from the top down. You cast on for the Back Neck and increase at each end of every row until you reach the full width of the Shoulders, then work the Upper Back to the bottom of the Armholes. Then, you will pick up and knit the Front Shoulders, shaping the Neck and Armholes until you reach the bottom of the Front Neck. Then, join at the bottom of the Front Neck and work Chest to the bottom of the Armholes. Join to work in the round and work the Lower Body to desired length. The Neckband and Armhole Trims are picked up and worked in the round. |
