This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. You cast on at the collar, the yoke is knit, sleeve sts are placed on hold on waste yarn, the body is completed, then sleeves are knit last. The body of the sweater is finished with a high-low split hem. Warm hug sweater has straight wide sleeves, with split cuffs. This sweater is perfect for beginner knitters and a good canvas to showcase yarn. I would love to encourage you to use different leftover yarns held together to knit it.

Sizes
This sweater is designed to be slightly oversized, with approximately 0-6” (0-15 cm) of positive ease around the bust. Note that the measurements given for body length are for a slightly cropped body, but you can easily adjust this length as desired.
