This is a Measure & Make pattern, which means you can use any yarn, with a hook suitable to the yarn you choose.

The pattern is written in such a way that it can be made in any size, from a toddler, to an adult male.

The sweater is crocheted top-down in one piece with no seams. The ribbings are added afterwards. The stitch pattern is relatively simple, and it might even feel somewhat boring, but the result is a lovely dense and squishy sweater, resulting in a nice and warm garment. The project and the stitch pattern are unisex; it will be beautiful on a man too.

• The pattern is written using US terminology.
• Do not use any yarn thicker than fingering. The sweater will be too thick and too heavy, and you will use a lot of yarn.
• With fingering, you will need between 500 and 900g depending on the size you are making.
• Choose a hook suitable to the yarn you are going to use. Swatch and make sure your tension is not too loose.
