The very new and very improved Girls With Bangs sweater! Choose your length, sleeve fit and yarn and you’re good to go! You can literally do whatever! It also matches perfectly with the Girls With Bangs skirt (hint hint) I’d rate it a 3/5 in terms of difficulty. It’s in English by default, but available in Swedish upon request.

This pattern is crocheted top down, starting with the collar. Then you’ll work a couple of short rows, then the yoke in the round but turning and chaining at the end of each row, after which the body and sleeves are workes separately in the same way, and then finished with a crochet I-cord.
