With graceful sleeves and a pretty nipped-in waist, you will get many compliments on your feminine style with this dainty sweater. Admirers need not know that it is as comfy and warm as your favorite sweatshirt, and oh-so-simple to knit, too. There are no seams to sew, and the heavier gauge means the knitting will go quickly. Enjoy!

Sizes: to fit: xs-small 30”, medium 36”, large 42”, xl 48”

Materials: heavy worsted weight yarn, 675 (850, 1050, 1300) yards
Green and pink shrug in photo was made with 5 balls of Noro Shiro, 137 yards per 50gm ball
24” circular needle, size US9, or the size you need to get the correct gauge

Pattern notes: Because the ribbing at the waist can draw in or stretch quite a bit, and the sleeves are quite loose, the sizing is very flexible. You will generally want 1-6 inches of negative ease for a flattering fit.
