This is a short, wide, and easy-to-knit sweater. All pieces are worked separately.

The sleeves are worked in the round using circular needles and the Magic Loop method, or DPNs, then worked back and forth when shaping the upper sleeves.

The front and back are worked back and forth. All pieces are decreased at each side in the same way as for raglan shaping. The difference is that each piece is worked separately and then seamed together at the end.
