Cut out the pattern pieces from your outer fabric. Lay the fabric right side up. Place the selvedges parallel to the center so that you can place the front and back pieces on the fold. The pattern pieces should all be placed with the writing facing up. Always align the grain arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm long cut with scissors or chalk. Notch the seam allowance on the fold, as this is always the center. Markings define the positions of darts, pocket positions, and much more. Transfer these either with chalk or

The instructions describe the Lotta with the yoke and pleats in the front. If you're sewing the plain version, simply skip the corresponding sewing steps.
To sew this sweater you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, or alternatively the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the cut edges.
Be sure to use a jersey needle and a stretchy stitch. This means that if you're using a home sewing machine, you should use either a zigzag stitch or the three-part stretch stitch. Then, finish all seam allowances with a zigzag stitch or another similar stitch to prevent fraying. The colored lines in the images, in addition to the description, show you where to sew or glue a seam.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern.
Have fun sewing!

Place your two front pieces right sides together and close the center front and chain it.

Cut your elastic according to the measurements and pin it to your front piece as marked. Distribute the fabric width evenly across the elastic by pulling the elastic apart to the desired width.

Sew the elastic all the way around the seam allowance right next to the center front seam.

To prevent your shoulder seam from expanding but still remain flexible, I will show you the following processing:
Cut a 3cm wide ribbon that's 2m longer than your shoulder, including seam allowance. The grain should run in the direction of the fabric's less stretchy side. Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise and iron it flat.
Place the shoulder seams of the front and back pieces right sides together. Pin the prepared band to the shoulder. The raw edges of the shoulder and band should be aligned.

Close the shoulder seam and chain it off.

Trim the excess ends of the tape.

Next, we'll work on the neckline. Close your neckline tape and press the seam allowance open.

Insert the ribbon, right sides together, into your neckline. Make sure the notches are aligned with the designated center front or center back, and the seam of your ribbon is on your shoulder. The ribbon is slightly shorter at the center front and center back so it will sit smoothly upwards in the neckline.

Now fold your ribbon inward so that it's flush with the seam allowance. The ribbon now forms a small piping in the neckline.

Topstitch your neckline all the way around the seam. You can also use a cover stitch for this. The elastic in the front seam gives the shirt a small V-neck.

Insert the sleeve, right sides together, into the armhole. Make sure the notches line up. The sleeve has a fitting notch that belongs to the front armhole. Close the seam.

Chain stitch the armhole seam and press it to the sleeve.

Iron the sleeve hem to the wrong side.

Place the front side and sleeve seams, right sides together, on the back side and sleeve seams. Close the seam and overlock it.

Iron your hem.

Now gather the side seam. Cut the elastic according to the measurements and pin it to your side seam as marked. Distribute the fabric width evenly over the elastic by pulling it apart to the desired width.

Stitch the elastic all the way around the seam allowance right next to the seam.
