This sweater begins with a provisional cast on / tubular cast on and is knit in the round from the bottom up. The shoulders are joined with crochet seams and the piece is finished with a folded collar at the neckline. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round. This pattern features stranded knitting and slip stitches.

This sweater is a classic oversized fit. The sleeve tapers in a traditional gender-free way. Due to the width of the chart repeat, blended size ranges are used in this pattern; choose your size according to how much ease you would prefer. Please see the fit chart.
