GAUG 16 sts x 22 Rds in stockinette st with needles 5 mm [US 8] = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in]. METHOD The sweater Salik is worked top down on circular needles with a stranded pattern on the yoke and a smaller one at cuffs and hem. The yoke is divided into front, back and sleeves. All parts are worked in the round, top down on a circular needle. Pay attention: When you knit top down, the sweater turns upside down (imagine making a head stand). With that in mind, the right and left sleeves switch places. In the pattern, right and left, e.g. for the sleeves, are used as if you would wear the sweater. In this pattern, the Italian cast on and bind off are used, as well as German short rows. If you are not familiar with these techniques, use whatever method you like instead or search for instructional videos on YouTube. * Available in English, Danish and Icelandic
