How cozy is this sweater?
Gertie is about as cozy as you can get.  You will knit the body up to the armhole and then a simple cast on for the sleeves which are straight at the bottom.  There is no shaping at the neck, just a straight across bind off. The straight body shape and textured knit are flattering on all body types as is the length. Pick up your needles and get knitting!
