Designed to be a cozy, year round accompaniment, this sweater hits that slightly oversized but perfect fit sweet spot. I imagine this sweater to be something I reach for time and again, something that holds so many memories and travels with me through the years.

This sweater is worked flat, beginning at the front hem, working upwards to shape the body, shoulders, neckline, and then the back. You will then pick up stitches to knit each sleeve and the neckband. Sides will be seamed at the end.

Note: All yarn weights are approximate. You may use more or less depending on your tension and knitting style.

Note on Yarn: Comfy Cotton Blend is listed as a DK weight on Ravelry, but I would say is more of a worsted weight. When deciding on a yarn substitution, I would look for Worsted weight yarns to obtain the gauge.

Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch on size 9 needles
