26 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in K1, p1 Rib slightly stretched.

Pieces: Front, Back, Sleeves (2)

The Back and Front are worked in 3 different stitches: Garter st (k every row), St st (k on RS, p on WS), and K1, p1 Rib. Each stitch has a slightly different stitch gauge, this gauge change will create the ‘swing’ shape of the Sweater.

Back neck is divided to create a keyhole (slit) opening.

K1P1 ribbing on mid-arm creates a puff sleeve effect.
