A modern and contemporary pattern with clean lines and a boxy fit.
(Since a lot of people asked, the buttons are just decorative, you can still knit the sweater without them! :D)

Despite being Boxy’s little brother, this pattern is worked in a completely different way and features lots of details that make it quite unique and interesting!
Boxy and Buttony is worked from the top down, seamlessly. It has an oversized fit, but with slightly less fabric than Boxy. The main sections of the sleeves are worked at the same time with the body, and a faux button-band outlines the shoulders.
A textured panel in the front helps to add visual interest to an otherwise simple and minimalist sweater.
Let the drapey-ness of your favorite fingering weight yarn wrap you using this simple and chic pattern!

Sizes:
XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL).
Note on sizing: This is a very oversized sweater, and it can fit a big range of sizes. It is intended to be worn with a great amount of positive ease; that is why the biggest difference among the different sizes is the sleeve circumference.
