About this pattern
This is an intermediate level knitting pattern due to the inclusion of color work. The sweater is a loose fit with positive ease, around 4”-6” wider than your bust and extra loose raglan sleeves. The colorwork is forgiving with mistakes, so it is a great project for a first timer!

Available sizes
x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, 2x, 3x, 4x

Gauge
4 x 4 inches = 18 stitches, 20-23 rows using 5mm needles in stockinette

This pattern has flexibility in the length, so the stitches per inch are more important than rows per inch. For movement, ensure that the swatch is not stiff.
