PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is knit flat from the bottom up and seamed. The shoulders are joined with the three-needle bind-off. After assembling the body, stitches for the neckband are picked up and worked in the round.

This sweater is intended to fit with a generous amount of positive ease in the body, but with fitted sleeves. To determine the best size to make, measure your upper arm circumference and choose a size with a Sleeve measurement closest to this. The Sleeve measurement is given in the schematic.
