Knit from the top down, with no seaming required, this pattern is written in nine sizes, for bust sizes 30”-63.“ This drop-shoulder sweater is perfect for layering, and is a transition piece for spring! It is suggested to pick your size based on your bust measurement +4” of positive ease. Body and sleeve length are easily adjustable.

This pattern would be great for an advanced beginner who is comfortable knitting flat and in the round, knows how to pick up stitches, and wants to try out some new decorative stitches! The sweet patchwork pockets with flower details are my favorite part of this sweater, and come together surprisingly quickly.
