Frequently asked questions
Do all Moby Sweater options use two strands?
No. Double Sunday is held with Tynn Silk Mohair, while Peer Gynt is used single stranded. Follow the table for your chosen option.
Is the neckline sewn down afterwards?
The ribbed neck edge is folded to the inside and closed by knitting it together with the picked-up edge, forming a double neckband.
