Notes: Worked in one piece from the neck down with a gradually increasing circular yoke, stitches are put on hold for the sleeves and the body is worked straight downwards making the length fully customisable. The slip-stitch patterned stripes are made using only one colour at a time. Needles two sizes smaller create a snug ribbing for the body. The back and front of the sweater are exactly the same, but the pattern uses the back right shoulder as the beginning of round reference point.
