This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Chestnut Dress is knitted from the top down. First, the top of the back is knitted back and forth, while the slope of the shoulders is shaped with shortened rows to get a good fit. After this, the shoulder sections are knitted back and forth separately on circular needles. These are brought together at the front to form the front piece. The front piece and back are then brought together to form the torso, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted from picked up sts along the armhole and knitted in the round on circular needles and double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. The large polo collar of the neck is finally knitted from picked up stitches.
Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right tension.
