This is a printed pattern in Swedish.
Melange Sweater Man is knitted from the top down. First, the top of the back is knitted back and forth and the shoulder slope is shaped using shortened rows. Increases are knitted at the bottom of the back. Then the shoulder sections are knitted back and forth separately on a circular needle. These are then joined at the front to form the front piece. The front piece and back piece are joined in turn when the body is knitted in the round on a circular needle. The sleeves are knitted from picked up sts along the armhole and knitted in the round on a circular needle and double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. The neck rib is knitted from picked up sts in the neck opening and folded double and knitted down.
Melange Sweater is knitted in two strands of thin wool yarn in contrasting colors to achieve a melange effect. Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right knitting tension.
