Pattern Water Sprite Sweater

The WATER SPRITE sweater is knitted top down without a seam. After knitting the collar and button tab the body and sleeves are separated. First the body afterwards the sleeves are knitted in rounds. The herringbone stitch is used as a design element. The name WATER SPRITE is inspired by my favourite children’s book.
