This is a PDF pattern for a sweater I designed and crafted in January 2021. Modifications can be made to create a bigger or smaller sweater, which you can contact me for help with. If the chart included in the pdf is confusing, please reach out and I'll guide you through it. When I originally knit this, my bind-off was way too tight, so I've adjusted the pattern to fit and included the goofy photo.
Size: I’m a US size 10-12 dress and this was meant to fit my body. The arms are long, as I like to roll my sleeves. The finished sweater I made measures 19” across, 24.5” long from the shoulder, and the sleeves measure 26” from the shoulder.
Gauge: 5.5sts/1” and about 7 rows/1”
