Rear View Window is a soft and floofy sweater that is constructed from side to side. There is a tiny sweater that you can practice on (you don’t need to but some people can’t imagine how it’s constructed and want to try it first) available when you purchase this.

It’s called Rear View Window because SFS added a spy window to the back (pic at left.) For those of you new to this odd world, SFS is Sharon From Security and if you stick around, you’ll figure it out probably sooner than you’d like!

To make it longer, you just cast on extra sts. as directed in the pattern.

Sizes: - Designed to be worn with 2-4” of positive ease, so take your bust measurement and add 2-4” and that is the size you will make. If your hips are bigger than your bust, you can just leave slits in the bottom if you like and seam from higher up.
