Holmeknappen Sweater
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. The body and sleeves can be knitted to the length you desire. For the women's model, the body and sleeves have a straight shape, while the men's model has a more fitted shape with tighter ribbing. You can of course adjust the shape as you like. The neckline can be knitted as either a low or high neck.
