In a jiffy PDF – PixenDK
IN A JIFFY is a slightly oversize sweater with wide sleeves that are longer than the body of the sweater.
The sweater is knit from the top down. The neckline is based on the invisible cast on / provisional cast on, where you cast on two rows at the same time across two needles and scrap yarn. That way you end with two rows of stitches, which can be worked, one row upwards and one row downwards. The two rows are knit together before continuing on the yoke. You can find great instruction videos for this technique on Youtube.
The model in the picture is 169 cm high and use a size S, the sweater in the picture is a size XS.
