This pattern creates a light weight sweater that functions both formally or casually. The stitch pattern uses only knit and purl stitches and is worked from the bottom up and seamed. The stitch pattern begins with the first row of both body and sleeves, since it does not need an edging to prevent curling. The neck edge is finished in a 1x1 ribbing. The pattern has both written and charted instructions and is worked in fingering weight yarn on size 4 needles. The neck trim is worked in the round.
