Fuzzypop Sweater is a light, oversized knit with a double neckline, popcorn and balloon sleeves and is knitted from the top down using raglan increases. The double neckline is knit together before you start knitting the increases, which means that you don’t have to sew it on later. I have chosen to increase the height of the neck for a better fit using German short rows (turn), where you are knitting increases on both the right and the wrong side at the same time. When you have knitted all the increases, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you knit the body. You then proceed by placing the sleeve stitches back on your circular needle and completed separately. The popcorn is knitted based on an easy system where you have influence on how many or how few popcorns your want.
