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!

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.
