This sweater is beginner friendly. For a woman’s small size I used 5 to 6 skeins of medium worsted weight yarn and a 5mm hook. However the design is easily adaptable for any specific size. The sweater is worked straight off the hood, and the body and the sleeves are worked in rounds, so there is no sewing involve. All you will need to do is sew in the loose ends to finish. I hope you enjoy this design!
