Designed with beginners in mind, this sweater is the perfect entry point into garment knitting. I wanted to create a cute sweater pattern keeping things as simple as possible, using minimal supplies, and providing accompanying tutorials, so it could confidently be recommended to knitters of any skill level. The bell sleeves, rolled hems, and circular yoke create simplicity and fun for novice and experienced knitters alike. **Needles & Notions:** Size US 9 / 5.5mm circular needles * Stitch marker, tapestry needle, stitch holders/scrap yarn * cable length will vary based on size **Sizing:** XS(S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) Finished Chest Measurement: 27.5(30.5, 34, 38.5, 42) (46, 50, 54, 58) inches; 69.75(77.5, 86.25, 97.75, 106.75) (116.75, 127, 137.25, 147.25) cm *This garment is meant to be worn with anywhere from 4” of negative ease to 2” of positive ease.
