Gorm Sweater Baby is classic and timeless. The sweater is worked top down in stockinette stitch with long sleeves. At the neck a slit is worked that is closed with a small button. At the body, a pattern with 3 contrasting colours is worked, using the fair isle technique. Ribbings at body and sleeves are worked, before they are finished with double face and bound off with the italien method. The neckline is shaped with short rows (here: German short rows).
