Curly sweater

Sweater with inserted curls in the ribbing at the bottom, sleeves, and neck.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. The first part of the sweater is knitted on circular needles till the armhole opening. From there, it is knitted back and forth with a stockinette stitch. The sweater is sewn together at the shoulders, and stitches are picked up for the sleeves and collar, which are also knitted on circular needles.
