Summer Blues Sweater
The Summer Blues Sweater is a super lightweight sweater with a lot of drape. It is a great transition piece as the summer nights begin to cool. This sweater is nearly seamless; the only seams are the shoulder seams. It is knit in the round from the bottom up. The upper back and front sections are knit separately and then joined at the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up at the armholes and worked in the round. The length can be easily adjusted, whether you prefer a very short, cropped sweater or a hip length or longer sweater.
This pattern is written for the following sizes (bust measurement):
XS (28-30), S (32-34), M (36-38), L (40-42), XL (44-46), 2XL (48-50), and 3XL (52-54), 4XL (56-58), and 5XL (60-62).
All measurements are approximate as this fabric has a significant amount of stretch.

This sweater can be made longer or shorter by knitting more or fewer rows before dividing for the armholes. Arm circumference can be adjusted by making the armholes a little longer or shorter, and then picking up more or fewer stitches for sleeves. Use instructions for a larger or smaller size when knitting the armholes, and be sure to adjust the number of decreases through the sleeves.
