CONSTRUCTION
The Edelweiss pullover is worked top down, starting with an elastic cast on. Short rows are then worked for the back neck before working the yoke.
At this point you can add a little lace motif.
Then, the body and sleeves are separated. The sleeves are put on hold and the body worked in circular stockinette stitch. You can
choose your hem finishing: garter stitch, i-cord, or 1/1 twisted rib.
Both sleeves are worked straight, in circular stockinette stitch, either with Magic Loop or small circular needles. They are slightly tighter at the wrist. The same hem detail are possible to match the bottom of the sweater.
If you wish, you can pick up stitches at the neckline to also match the finishing to rest of the sweater.
