Pattern Notes
Do you have lots of fingering weight scraps leftover and can’t bear to throw them out? Small bits that just aren’t enough for a full project? This is the perfect project to use up all those odds and ends. And the best part? This sweater has very few ends to weave in! Most ends can be knitted in as you go. A video link is provided for the knitting in of ends, Just to reiterate – you do not
need to weave in most of the ends! There is a video showing how to weave in the ends as you go.

Color Notes
Shown in “all colors”, the sky is the limit when it comes to color choices in this sweater! I sorted my yarn scraps into piles of light and dark before beginning and alternated them throughout the pattern. Dark color is referred to in the pattern as DC, while light color is LC.

Construction Notes
This sweater is knit modularly from one side to the other in stockinette stitch. Shown in a slightly cropped length, you can easily add more squares to lengthen the sweater if you choose. There is a video showing how to pick up stitches from previous strips. Tubular bind-offs are shown in all ribbed edgings.
