Sometimes something amazing can be born out of a session of scribbling! Use two fingering weight yarns for the Scribble Sweater and watch them make magic. Or use a worsted weight yarn for a more classic sweater with a little pop of interest. Either way, you’ll be wanting to make another as soon as you bind off!

Construction

Pattern is constructed top-down, beginning with the back panel. Stitches are picked up to add the front left and front right shoulders. Front shoulders are joined to create the neckline and the rest of the front panel is worked. Front and back panels are then joined and worked in rounds to finish the body. Neckband and sleeves are added at the end.
