NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

This pattern requires double crochet, chain stitches, front post, and back post double crochet for ribbing.

The sweater is worked top-down. First, we are working on the yoke. Then we will separate the sleeves from the body of the sweater and work the 3 parts individually.

The sweater has no seams. You will use the needle only to wave in the few ends that you will have after finishing the sweater.
This sweater has an oversized fit with deep yoke depth and wide sleeves.

The pattern is available in 6 sizes, from XSmall to 2X Large, and is written in US terms.
