Chunky Moss Green Sweater
A very basic, boxy sweater with set-in sleeves and no shaping, knit from the bottom up in aran to chunky-weight yarn. The body is done in stockinette with the cuffs, hem, and neckband in garter stitch.
The sweater is knit from the bottom up in one piece up to the armholes starting with a garter-stitch hem band. The upper front and back are knit separately to shape the armholes, crew neck, and shoulders. The set-in sleeves are knit from the cuff up starting with a garter -stitch cuff.
Stitches are picked up for the garter-stitch neckband. Finally the sleeves are sewn to the armholes.
Required skills: knit and purl stitches, working in the round, basic increases and decreases, seaming.
