This pattern contains bare bones instructions and charts used. Instructions are NOT DETAILED and some understanding of cabling is advised.

Sweater construction:
Worked top down, knitting the back yoke in German short rows before picking up stitches for the shoulders, knitting front yoke, and joining in the round to knit the body. Sleeves will be picked up and knit. Construction inspiration is taken from The Moby Sweater Man by Petit Knit.

Materials:
~ 18 skeins of Drops Alaska (at 70 meters per skein, ~1260 meters)
US 8 and US 6 interchangeable needles.

Finished Measurements:
Chest: 104 cm
Length (measured from along back): 59 cm
Sleeve length (measured across top): 45 cm
This makes for a slightly oversized medium fit.

While this pattern is only for one size, charts can be changed and pattern can be graded if desired.
