The Tomato Sweater Knitting Pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters. The tomato sweater has duplicate stitching on the front. This means the colorwork is added later. The sweater is knit by first working short rows on the upper back, then after adding the shoulder pieces and connecting in the round. It is knit top down. The sweater is suitable for all genders, sizes XS through 5XL.
