This sweater-scarf starts in the round with a ribbed sleeve that incorporates a thumbhole for extra coziness. The sleeves are worked in a 1x1 rib in the main color, while alternating sections
of a slipped-stitch check-pattern add bright pops of color make up the body. This design mimics a warm hug, something we’ve all been
craving from friends and family during this pandemic.
