SISSE - pdf -

SISSE starts at the shoulders. First, the back is knitted up to the end of the armhole, then the stitches for the front pieces are picked up from the shoulder stitches. Before joining the front pieces, stitches are cast on for the neckline. The front is also knitted in rows up to the armhole, then the lower body is continued in rounds.
