Other Details about Trooper – Christal LK: The cabled sleeves caps are worked in the same time as the front and the back of the sweater. The shoulders are knitted flat; after they are joined with the neck, the sweater is knitted in round. The sleeves are knit in the round after the body is completed. This sweater is designed with a 1 ½”-1 ¾” (4-6 cm) positive ease. If you want more ease choose a larger size and adjust the body and sleeve length as necessary.
