The *Officer sweater* is a beginner-friendly intarsia sweater knitted from the bottom up in separate pieces. I knitted mine in our brand new Fluff yarn in the colourway Shadow and Officer. With its timeless aesthetic and effortless versatility, this sweater is sure to become a wardrobe essential.⁠ **Kits can be found** [HERE][2] **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Choose a size that allows for an intended positive ease of 2 to 4” (5 to 10 cm). **FINISHED CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE** 36 (40¼, 44¼, 48½, 52½, 56½, 60¾, 64¾)" 90.5 (100.5, 111, 121, 131.5, 141.5, 152, 162) cm **YARN** Weight: Sport Fluff is a sport-weight yarn with great versatility.
