The Simple Addition pullover is just that, a simple addition to any wardrobe. Pair it with a dress, jeans, a loose or fitted shirt, and this sweater instantly adds warmth of your favorite outfit. Don’t worry, there is not actual addition in this pattern; I did all the math for you.

The Simple Addition is knit seamlessly from the bottom up. The pattern includes instructions for short or long sleeves, and modifications for changing the circumference of the upper arm. This cropped sweater can easily be lengthened for a full length sweater. With drop shoulders and squishy ribbing, this sweater was designed to be a sweater you wear every day. A simple, uncomplicated addition to your wardrobe.
