This sweater is knitted top down in one piece. It starts with an i-cord from which stitches are picked up. Initially you will work back and forth in rows, until you join to knit in the round when the Henley slip is done. The garment is finished with i-cord edges at the bottom of the body and sleeves.

This is a Measure & Make pattern. This means that you can make the garment in any size, with any yarn of your choice, regardless of weight. That said, DK and sock yarns will yield a nicer end result than the heavier yarns.

Because it is a Measure & Make pattern, I cannot predict how much yarn you will need. The sample was made for a 105 cm bust and 350g of DK yarn was used.

This is a plain stocking-stitch pattern. As such it lends itself to variegated yarns or stripes in different colours. If you make it once, you will make it again.
