Nanoka sweater No.1
Design by Naive Sophie

This is my first sweater I made a few years ago.
Very simple, simple, knitted from bottom to top, a thick knit sweater without seams.
I knitted 2 versions, the design details and neckline shape were slightly different, and I wrote the weave of the first piece as a complete weave to commemorate the Nth anniversary of the completion of this piece.
Because it is a rewriting of the weaving diagram, if you find any problems, please let me know!
This sweater is inspired by Yarndoor.
I made two sweaters, Down-to-top Sweater No.1 and No.2, which have different sizes and slightly different designs of neckline and hem.
Nanoka Sweater No.1 is worked seamlessly in a circular from bottom to top.
The pieces of body and sleeves are knitted separately and then joined in the round. The decrease is used to shape the yoke and a bateau neckline (boatneck).
