Knit this oversized layering piece in a weekend. Style with a white shirt or a cozy turtleneck for an easy transition into fall.

NOTES: Levan is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, starting with 2 × 2 Rib, followed by Stockinette Stitch. The body is shaped using invisible increases, while the armholes and necklines are shaped by simple decreases and binding off stitches. The sweater pieces are blocked and seamed together. To finish, 1 × 1 Rib is worked from picked up stitches around the neckline, and armhole edges.
