The Faith Sweater is knitted from top down and in the round. Short rows are used to lengthen the back piece, but if you skip that section, then the entire piece could be made with only the knit stitch!

Cast on uses the Chinese waitress technique, bind off uses the folded hem method, and the short row is written out as wrap and turn.

This sweater was intended to be worn with at least 1 in 2.5 cm positive ease, but please choose the size based on how roomy you prefer to wear this sweater. For reference, I wore the smooth greenish one with 13” positive ease and the textured silver one with 6” positive ease.

The estimated yardage to make this sweater: 284 (329, 376, 418, 479) yd of Cascade Yarns “Magnum” or another super bulky yarn. I suggest that you over budget on the amount of yarn necessary to complete the project, as each knitter knits differently and there may be a discrepancy in the actual amount of yarn used, especially if you make any modifications to the pattern.
