This one is done on 12mm circular needles from the bottom-up and then place on straight needles to do from the armholes- up plus the sleeves. The Front edges are finished with a single crochet, but directions are also given for strictly knitting.
So easy and quick to knit and has some old school charm. Beautifully soft to wear! You may not need 8 balls for the Large, but just in case, I would go with 8. I made the Medium with 6 balls.
