The Cashmere Sweater - Mille Fryd
The Cashmere Sweater is a one-size sweater with a delicious casual look and fit, which is luxurious and classic at the same time.
The Cashmere Sweater is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch. First, the back is knitted, and stitches are cast on for the neck. Here it is knitted back and forth with increases on each side. On the shoulders, stitches are picked up, and the front pieces are knitted separately before they are gathered at the front. After the armhole, the back and front pieces meet to form the body, which is knitted in the round on a long circular needle. When the body is finished, stitches are picked up for sleeves, which are knitted in the round on a short circular needle. Finally, stitches are picked up in the neck opening to knit the ribbed edge of the neck. This is laid double and fitted inside with mattress stitching.

wash your home knitwear gently with it eucalan
To keep your home knitwear soft, beautiful and durable, hand washing with Eucalan - one is recommended gentle and mild wool soap without rinsing.
HOW TO DO IT:
1. Fill a tub/sink
Use lukewarm water (approx. 30 °C). Add approx. 5 ml (one teaspoon) Eucalan per 4 liters of water.
2. Soak the elastic
Place your knitting needle in the water so that it is completely covered. Let it soak for approx. 15 minutes.
3. Centrifuge or squeeze out the water
Take the knitting out of the water - Eucalan should not be rinsed out, as the wool benefits from the lanolin. Squeeze the water out carefully, without twisting. Spin your knitting at 800-1200 revolutions.
NOTE: You must be sure that your washing machine not takes in cold water during centrifugation. Alternatively, excess water can be gently squeezed out by rolling the elastic in a towel and squeezing gently.
5. Dry flat
Place the elastic in shape (according to the measurements from the recipe) and let it dry lying flat on a towel.
