Meet your new fave beginner-friendly sweater! This easygoing, top-down knit has no decreases, no short rows—just chill, cosy vibes. It’s perfect for your first-ever garment or a no-fuss project to relax with. Knit flat, then in the round, with a soft rolled neck and straight sleeves—no shaping here. And since it’s worked with lace-weight yarn held double, it’s a dreamy scrap yarn project too. Beginner-friendly, scrap-happy, and seriously cute.
