This is a beginner project which is fully size inclusive. Details have been given about adjusting the size throughout the pattern. Sleeve length and body length can also be easily adjusted.

The yarn is a long colour change yarn - I like the chaotic look of making two squares which are not identical but if you prefer your sleeves to look more even, cutting the yarn so that the starting point in the colour order is the same works really well too.

I used James C Brett Swurly Wurly for this and 3 cakes made a medium sized sweater - UK size 14, with elbow length sleeves. Add another cake for larger sizes, longer length or longer sleeves.

Any single colour DK yarn will also work just as well for this pattern.

If you have any questions or queries about the pattern please feel free to drop me a message at whisperhandmade28@gmail.com
