The Carlotta sweater is worked from the top down in a slip stitch pattern. First, the left and right shoulders are worked separately. Then, stitches are picked up to work the back. After that, stitches are picked up to work the right and left fronts, with increases to shape the V-neck. German Short Rows are used in both the front and back to ensure a comfortable fit at the shoulders. Once all parts are completed, they are joined to work the body in the round. Next, stitches are picked up to work the sleeves in the round.
Finally, stitches are picked up to work the V-neckline in a 1x1 rib, knitted in the round using three different caolors.

WET-BLOCKING
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
- Soak work for 30 minutes or longer allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
- Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
