The Well Worn Sweater is a lightweight, wool sweater. The cropped length gives it a stylish and trendy look, but it can easily be made to your desired length. The bottom cuff, sleeve cuffs, and v-neck are knitted in twisted rib for a bolder texture. The oversized width and generous sleeves makes for an extremely cozy sweater, even with the cropped length.

This sweater is nearly seamless; the only seams are the shoulder seams. It is knit in the round from the bottom up. The upper back and front sections are knit separately and then joined at the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up at the armholes and worked in the round.

This pattern is written for the following sizes (bust measurement):
XS (28-30), S (32-34), M (36-38), L (40-42), XL (44-46), 2XL (48-50), and 3XL (52-54), 4XL (56-58), and 5XL (60-62). It is designed to be worn loose, with a positive ease of 11”-13”.

This sweater can be knit in any size with only three skeins of Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool. Any brand of wool yarn would work great for this pattern.
