The sweater is seamless, worked in the round from the top down. The pattern is relatively easy and suitable for beginner-intermediate knitters. The doubled rib neckband is the most difficult part for the beginner to grasp but links to two video tutorials are included.

Available is 2 sizes, Small-Medium and Large - the fit is supposed to be relaxed, with positive ease, perhaps even boxy. Easy to make shorter for a cropped sweater. Ideal for all ages and genders.
