Notes
CHARTS: Wrong side (odd numbers) rows are worked from left to right. Right side (even numbers)rows are worked from right to left.
Take note of the row you are on in the pattern when you shape the armholes and shoulders on the back so you do the front shaping on the same rows.
If you are unsure about what size to make, measure one of your sweaters that you like the fit of and choose the size that is closest to those measurements.
