The Rosenlund top is knitted seamlessly from the top down with honeycomb cables, lace patterns and textural moss stitch. The back and front are knitted flat down to the armholes. Then the pieces are joined and the body is knitted in the round. Stitches are picked up from the neck edge and worked in the round. Lastly, stitches for the sleeve edgings are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round. All techniques are explained in the pattern. The cable and lace patterns are both charted and written out stitch by stitch.
