This might just be the sweater you want to live in all day. Three-quarter length sleeves, generous pockets, and a comfortable fit, it’s as cozy as it is practical. The clever combination of stitch patterns adds zest for every knitter.

PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is knit in pieces and sewn together. This garment features 3/4 length sleeves, a tunic length, and large pockets.
To ensure the best distribution of color when using this hand-dyed yarn, we recommend working from two balls of yarn at once, alternating every two rows. This tutorial HERE will show you how to do that.
