Here is the perfect autumn sweater adorned with pineapples along the bottom which look like leaves falling from a tree.

It is made with aran or worsted weight yarn and a 10mm hook so it stitches up relatively quickly. It is made with as few seams as possible because we all hate weaving in ends.

The sweater has quite a bit of stretch to it so will fit and is designed to fit a US size Large (US 10/12) or XL (US 14/16) and includes instructions to make it larger. The sleeves can be extended to make them longer.

I originally designed it to fit me. I was a US size 12/14 (as seen in the pictures). Across the chest, the size L sweater measures 16 inches but can stretch to 22 inches. At the hips, it measures 21 inches when buttoned without stretch.
