This is your perfect project for cold winter days! And it’s really fun to knit it. You start with working the lower body sideways, then you pick up stitches from one of the long sides and work the body in rounds until the beginning of the armholes. Then you divide into back and front and work in rows from here. After sewing the shoulder, the sleeves are worked in rounds from the top down directly into the armholes.
