The Scotty Sweater is knit from the top down in stockinette stitch holding one strand of Spinni and two strands of Silk Mohair together. You can substitute for another yarn or yarn combination that gives the same gauge, but keep in mind that the fabric characteristics may vary. You will begin by knitting the top back, then the shoulders, the front, and then the body of the sweater. Next, you will pick up stitches along the armholes for working the set-in sleeves using short rows. The neckband is knit in rib from picked-up stitches along the neckline and is folded over for a double collar. The Scotty Sweater requires almost no finishing, except for sewing down the folded neckband and the cuffs at the sleeves. The decorative lines for the characteristic pattern on the Scotty Sweater are embroidered at the end using duplicate stitches.
