Embracing the “less is more” philosophy, this effortlessly wearable sweater easily pairs with anything, giving you some extra time to slow down and enjoy the first rays of sunlight. The work begins with the short row shaping on the neckline and raglan increases. When the yoke is completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold. The body is then worked in the round towards the hem. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs. The neckline remains unfinished but it’s easy to modify by adding a turtleneck or a simple ribbing if desired. The pattern includes a photo tutorial for the German short row technique. **PATTERN INFORMATION** **SIZES** XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) Bust circumference of the finished sweater: 32 (35 ¼) 39 ½ (43 ¾) 48 (51 ¼) 55 ½ (59 ¾)” / 80 (88) 98.5 (109.5) 120 (128) 138.5 (149.5) cm.
