- Section 2: More width is added to form the body and the beginning of the sleeves.
- Section 3: Add more length to the body, made in rounds, until you have your desired length.
- Section 4: Bands – To the sweater’s lower edges. Made on each side, after which both are joined together to create a perfect double-sided effect.
