"Better: You can knit this baby up in either sport weight or worsted! And in any sleeve/V-neck/color combo you can think up.


With instructions given for both sport weight and worsted weight yarn, and multiple sleeve and V-neck variations, this pattern is knitted from the top down, all in one piece. This sweater is suitable for beginners and uses simple increases, color changes, knitting in the round, and knit 1, purl 1 ribbing...that's pretty much it!


Tips are also included for improving the look of stripes in the round."
