Options sweater is worked top down in the round so you can try it on as you work on it to ensure a good fit. Cropped length and bell sleeves take you from winter to spring as a perfect layering piece for the high wasted pants and long dresses. And…several sleeve options are included so you can make this again and again:

• bell sleeve shown here
• classic long sleeve (with thumb hole option!)
• classic short sleeve

YARN
Any yarn that knits up to 18sts/24rows per 4” square will be suitable.

My blue sample uses Malabrigo Yarn Rios.
The second dark grey samples uses Crooked Kitchen KidMoSilkLace held together with madelinetosh tosh merino light. This pullover is the perfect canvas to experiment with mixing yarns for a light and warm layer. Visit your stash and see what you have!

You will need 725(800, 875, 1000), (1150, 1250, 1350) yards of Aran weight yarn so if you are holding two yarns together your combined yardage will be double.
