The Black Little Thing Sweater features an oversized fit and is knitted in the round. It commences with a 2x2 rib stitch and transitions into the stockinette stitch. Once the desired body length is reached, the front and back stitches are separated, and shoulder decreases are worked individually to form openings for the sleeves.

Following this step, the front and back stitches for each shoulder are joined together using an invisible seam technique. Subsequently, the neckline stitches are cast off.

The sleeve stitches are then picked up from the underarm, and the sleeves are knitted individually in the round and finished with the 2x2 rib stitch after the desired length is achieved. To complete the sweater, neckline stitches are picked up from the cast-off edge and knitted for 3 cm using classic knit stitches.
Main Stitch Pattern: Stockinette stitch

Techniques employed:
2 x 2 rib stitch, left and right-leaning decreases, invisible seam technique, or the three-needle method for joining shoulder stitches, magic loop knitting technique for sleeve knitting, and the classic bind-off method.
