VOTE
I feel like my voice is small and my actions are even smaller. I know that I can scream and yell at the top of my lungs but that doesn’t mean everybody will hear me. Through the years I’ve learned that the best way to have my voice heard is TO VOTE.

NOTES
- Sweater is worked in one piece from the cuff to the armhole. Then it is separated into right front/ back/ left front.
- Pockets are worked in a double knitting manner making them seamless.
- Instead of a button closure keep the band in garter stitch on both sides for a modern and on trend look.
- This sweater is meant to be oversized so choose a finished measurement with at least 5” (12.5cm) ease.
- If intarsia is too difficult, make the sweater without the chart then use duplicate stitch to add the VOTE on the back.
