This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
The Scotty Sweater is knitted top down in stockinette stitch with one strand of Spinni and two strands of Silk Mohair, or with yarn that provides the same knitting tension. First the back piece is knitted, then the shoulders, the front piece and finally the body. Along the armholes, stitches are picked up to knit short sleeves with shortened rows. Stitches are picked up along the neckline to create a ribbed edge, which is finally folded and sewn to the wrong side. The Scotty Sweater is assembly-free except for the fold of the neckline. The squares on the Scotty Sweater are finally embroidered with stitch stitches. Make a test piece to get the right knitting tension.
