This versatile sweater pattern is designed for nine different sizes, ranging from XS to 5XL. The sweater is knit flat and then seamed together, with the neck finished in the round. The body and sleeves feature a classic stockinette stitch, while a delicate eyelet detail adorns both the sleeve and neck.

This pattern has been tech edited, written in metric and imperial units and color coded for ease.

For the shoulder seams, the pattern recommends a three-needle bind off, but knitters can also opt for a regular bind off and seam the shoulders together if they prefer.
