OVERALL NOTES
This sweater is knit flat from the bottom up on both the front and back. The front has a “knight style” feature and the back has a straight bottom hem and is more cropped. The sleeves are knit flat and will be seamed up. This is a batwing style sweater and increases in width for most of the work. All of the charts except the sleeve are horizontal in this doc - use the label as a guide to make sure you are reading it correctly. The charts are read from R to L and, with the exception of the collar chart, alternates between RS and WS with even rows as RS and odd rows as WS. On the WS, you are working the stitch as shown (eg if it looks like a P, you P, if it looks like a K, you K) – the only exception here is when you increase at the beginning/end of the row and working YOs, please work those sts as charted.
