Curly sweater - English version

Sweater with Inserted Curls in the Ribbing

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. The first part is worked in the round on a circular needle until the armholes begin. From there, it is knitted back and forth in stockinette stitch. The sweater is sewn together at the shoulders, and stitches are picked up for the sleeves and collar, which are also knitted in the round.
