From the pattern description:

This sweater is such a snap to knit that you won’t go crazy (i.e. turn into a basketcase) creating it. A cuddly, bulky jacket in super-soft wool, this sweater can go weekend casual or act as a jacket for the Modern Casual “new office” look. A real sweater coat, it’s perfect for a guy seeking a bulky wear-anywhere garment, and it’s a good choice for any Personal Style category and for the following fit issues: Athletic and Average physiques, the Tall guy, and the really Thin guy.
