This magical Elsa sweater is knitted in the round from the waist up.
After we knit those waves, we knit stocking stitch in the round until we separate the front and back panels.
We then work the front and back panels in flat stocking stitch, do some neckline shaping and seam the shoulders. Next, we pick up stitches for the sleeves and knit stocking stitch in the round until we get to around the elbow part of the sleeve. We then increase before working more waves for the sleeve cuffs!

There are options in the pattern for different sleeve widths; you can make them wide OR WIDER!
We finish off the sweater by picking up stitches along the neckline and binding off on the first row; this creates a very beautiful finish, there is also an option to make a ribbed collar

The sizes are shown in numbers, so that the knitter can choose their personal size by measuring their bust.
Sizes range from 28-60 inch bust

Gauge:
In stocking stitch, with 7mm needles, working flat (one row knit, one row purl)
10 stitches= 9.5cm/ 3.7 inches (width)
10 rows= 7cm/ 2.75 inches (length)

Materials:
Size 7mm circular needles with an 80cm cord or longer and a shorter cord for the neckline ribbing. I used an 80cm cord for the entire sweater and used the magic loop technique for the neckline and sleeves!
Please use whatever size needles needed to get correct gauge
7mm double pointed needles incase you want to use this method for the sleeve cuffs or the neckline ribbing
8mm circular needle for the neckline if you decide to use this size
8mm crochet hook if you decide to single crochet the neckline
BOR stitch marker
Stitch holder or scrap yarn to hold stitches
Darning needle to seam panels and for weaving in ends
A good glass of wine!

You can use three strands of dk yarn held together to make this sweater or use one strand of chunky yarn.
The Let it Go Sweater is totally seamless, apart from the shoulder seaming which means more knitting, less seaming YAY!
