To help you pick your size, measure around your chest and then add 18 inches. then pick what’s closest to that circumference.

final circumference measurement for sizes 1,2(3,4,5)6,7,8 are approximately
40”, 46”, (52”, 58”, 64”) 70”, 76”, 82”

You use only a US 13/9mm needle for the entire sweater

It’s worked from the bottom up. Then you separate front and back panel. After seaming the shoulders, you’ll work the collar and then pick up stitches for the sleeves.

I chose to use Lion Brand Wool Ease for the ease of care for this yarn. I wanted to create a pattern that was a fun and quick make for either in between projects or if you are needing a quick gift. Another reason for choosing the yarn i did, so if you do decide to gift said sweater. You don’t have to stress to the receiver the importance of wash and care for this yarn. So far with my experience, it holds up nicely with normal wash and flat drying.

But, really any bulky yarn will still work. that was just my reasoning behind my choice.
Hope you love this pattern as much as i do and enjoy making it.
thanks.
